Thursday, November 8, 2018             7:00 p.m. –  8:30 p.m.

Conventional landscapes often work against nature by utilizing landscape chemicals. It’s possible to create a great–looking landscape that’s healthier for you, your family, your pets, and the environment and saves you time and money without using toxic pesticides or quick-release fertilizer. Making informed plant choices and understanding how trees grow is a great place to begin!

Join us to get to know some tough landscape plants and perhaps gain a new appreciation for trees!
