Sarah Bailey, Master Gardener is returning!
Enjoying-and maintaining-your yard is easier if you use the right materials for the job. In this talk we’ll look at some of the materials you can use to create pathways, garden beds, planting containers and other structures that are often used in yards and gardens. Not only are these structures functional, they can also be highly decorative. Many are easy and inexpensive to make, others may require more time and investment.
Some of the topics to discuss include:
- Materials for walks and pathways
- Low-maintenance garden containers
- Trellises and arbors
Based on the comments from past attendees, Sarah has promised to incorporate design principles for small spaces.
You must pre-register to attend. Seats are limited!
