Rose Bartlett, the author of The Bartlett Book of Garden Elements shared her knowledge of garden planning and the importance of structure in the landscape. She currently runs Rose’s Garden Shop in Asheville.
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.

Saturday, November 7th has been proclaimed Arbor Day in Weaverville!
To mark the occasion, the Weaverville Conservation Board is sponsoring a special workday in Main Street Nature Park.
After a spring and summer season of removing exotic plants from the Park, this special workday will be a planting day. We have a large number of native shrubs to be planted.
We will meet at the Pine Street entrance at the north end of the Park and work from 10 AM to Noon. If you can make it, the best tools to bring will be shovels and trowels.
We invite all participants to gather for a pizza lunch at Blue Mountain afterwards. We will need to know how many to expect, so if you can join us for the workday and for lunch afterwards please let us know by email to wwhabitat@gmail.com.
