Nov. 11: Wednesday, 6:30 pm to 9 pm: Members’ Monthly Meeting. Speaker: Sean James, “Wonderland: The Garden in Winter…”
Wonderland: The Garden in Winter from initial design to seasonal care, how do we get the most out of what seems like the longest season?
How do we plant in the summer to ensure something other than white when we look out our windows in February? And can we do more to make our gardens do Good? Like ‘It Doesn’t End in August’, this will be a month-by-month discussion. Winter lasts a long d@mn time! Let’s make sure it’s as beautiful as it can be, and that everything stays as healthy as possible.
