Thursdays 5:30-7:30 pm | Sept 17-Nov 19
The 10-session live, online Green Thumb Gardening class series will help you bring color to your fall garden and prepare you for a successful spring. Classes cover a wide range of autumn-themed and other topics from ornamental grasses, to bulbs, to getting the garden ready for winter.
All gardeners from the novice to the experienced are welcome. You can take the whole series for a discounted price ($100) or select individual classes ($12).
Spring Bulbs: This talk goes beyond tulips and daffodils (although they are covered as well) and focuses on perennial bulb and corm species that don’t get as much attention but are stellar garden plants, such as crocus, Puschkinia, Chionodoxa, and alliums. We will also discuss deterring critters that eat bulbs and general bulb care.
