This course will cover all of the elements of perennial gardening, and is meant for both new and seasoned gardeners. Emphasis will be on the essentials of having a successful and beautiful garden, and will cover soil, light, compost, fertilizing, maintenance, and all of the elements that contribute to plant success and lovely spaces.
We will use slides to study three local gardens and their changes from May to October in our classroom this winter, and will schedule two tours to those gardens (dates to be determined). The purpose of the course is to encourage participants to be creative, and to share the joy of gardening with perennials.
Two field trips to local gardens will be scheduled; Study Leader will announce dates.
