Coming up . . .

Naturescaping
Kathy Shearin – workshop leader for East Multnomah Soil &Water Conservation District – will highlight ways to attract wildlife and save water while making the garden a feast for the eyes. Naturescaping focuses primarily on native plants, recommended because they are adapted to our soil and climate and need relatively little or no watering, fertilizing, or care once established. They are also less susceptible to common garden pests and diseases, and they attract a variety of native birds and butterflies by providing food and shelter.

Green is a Color, Too
Many of us take the color green for granted, but, as Kermit the Frog reminds us, it is a real and vibrant hue. Come and explore the many ways this color can be used in the garden with Lucy Hardiman of Perennial Partners, a garden design collective recognized for their innovative approaches to garden design. Join Lucy and be prepared to have your eyes opened.
