“Our goal will be to make gardening basics – weeding, pruning, dividing and propagating –easier to understand and to accomplish no matter what plant you’d love to grow. Armed with just 4 fascinating principles of plant biology, you’ll approach new plants with confidence and old plant friends with new wonder. If there’s time, we’ll dig into soil, wade into water and finish with elements of design that meets the needs of plants and delights the gardener in us all. Questions welcome!”
