Looking to plant some perennials in your garden this spring?
There are so many perennials available in garden centers today, and it is often hard to choose what will work best in our gardens considering the climate, soil and other atmospheric conditions.
Join horticulture expert and teacher Marc Zukovich as he presents tips and advice on selecting beautiful, easy growing, low-maintenance, and long-lasting perennials that keep coming back every year.
Marc’s slide presentation will cover the most dependable perennial plants and shrubs that we could plant in our gardens for years of beauty and enjoyment along with tips on the planting and care of all garden plants.
He will introduce perennials which are long blooming, tolerate less than perfect conditions, require low maintenance, are disease and insect resistant, and not invasive.
Lady’s mantle, Coreopsis, Echinacea , Nepeta, catmint, shasta daisy, lamb’s ear, barberry, are some of the plants he will be talking about along with many others, including deer resistant varieties as well.
Useful handouts will be provided and all your gardening questions answered.
