Mary Hugenschmidt, a long time Master Gardener with a special interest in group-shared gardening, will bring us the list of native plants she has selected for our downtown parking bed renovation. This workshop of sorts will permit us to work with her on planning a lovely four-seasons new bed, full of drought-tolerant and pollinator-friendly plants.
We enjoyed a delightful presentation on shade-loving perennial plants suitable for our area. Our presenter was Tanya LaCorte from Reems Creek Nursery.
We met at Community Room at the Town of Weaverville Town Hall at 30 South Main Street Asheville. We began at 9:30 a.m. with the presentation, and had a short break with light refreshments. Member business meeting followed.
