Worry Free Plants for Busy People

Saturday, June 17, 2023

9:30 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. 

Instructor: Robert Bowden

Summer plants are a fantastic choice for a new gardener or for someone with a new garden. You can be creative, and can have instant color that lasts throughout our hot summer. There are many selections to choose from - you can grow plants that are climbers, bedding plants that are grown for their foliage and plants for the shade. This class fills up fast so be sure to sign up early – seating is limited.
