BUSHNELL NURSERY GARDENS: ASK A GREEN GARDENER DAY

 

Sat­ur­day, May 19, 2012
10:00 am and 2:00 pm

 

River-friendly Land­scap­ing prac­tices, water-efficient land­scap­ing, low-water plants will all be top­ics of dis­cus­sion dur­ing this year’s ASK A GREEN GARDENER DAY. The Regional Water Authority’s Blue Thumb advice blog, offers some point­ers before spring plant shopping:

 

“While plants, like peo­ple, are unique, they also pre­fer to be grouped with other plants that require sim­i­lar con­di­tions. Some groups thrive in full sun with lit­tle water, while oth­ers would wither and per­ish under these con­di­tions. By group­ing plants with sim­i­lar water and sun require­ments in your gar­den, you’re cre­at­ing a happy and healthy fam­ily of plants. This is not a new idea, but one that is often ignored to the detri­ment of the plants and your wallet.”
