About this Event
Trees and shrubs are the backbones of a well-landscaped garden. Their shapes, colors, flowers, and fruits change with the seasons, providing beauty throughout the year.
Gail Sanders, a Master Gardener with the DuPage County University of Illinois Extension, will present the program. Gail will talk about how to select the proper trees and shrubs for specific sites, including selecting plants native to our area.
We hope you will join us to see and hear about trees and shrubs that might be appropriate to enhance your own garden.
