Small Space Gardening Workshop

gardenJune 26 at 6:30pm
Main Library

Master Gardener and Interior Designer Denise Maurer will be presenting this workshop.

Gardening in a small space has its limits, but it need not be limiting. In a small garden, the gardener can pay attention to detail. You can keep on top of maintenance, while still having time to sit and enjoy your small garden. In fact, many small space gardens are designed around entertaining and sitting areas. Virtually any plant or garden style can be worked into a small garden space. Learn how to choose your site, develop your plant list and how to use gardening principles on a smaller scale.

The program is free and open to the public, but please call the library at 274-7071 to register or register online.
