Seasonal Native Plant Maintenance

Details:

With fall just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about maintenance and other seasonal considerations in your garden. We invite you to join us for a morning of learning about the seasonality of native plant maintenance. From beginning to prune your plants or starting to think about sowing annual wildflower seeds for spring, there is always an opportunity to engage in native plant horticulture.

This class will take place in various sections of the Garden, and will include lots of walking. Please wear comfortable shoes and clothing. It is highly recommended that participants bring sun protection and a water bottle.

Although the Garden is dog-friendly, participants are asked to not bring their dog(s) to this class
