Hooray for Shade!

Friday, July 12, 2013

This event will take place at the Gardens at Heather Farm

SAVE THE DATE:

California sunshine is one of the allures of the West Coast, though a place in the shade can be a welcome respite for people and for plants. But a shady landscape can also be one of the trickiest sites for gardening, especially if the shade is from trees whose roots compete for precious water with their lower growing companions. This seminar will cover the strategic creation of shade, great shade-loving plants, and tricks for dealing with difficult shady situations.

A Ruth Bancroft Horticultural Seminar, presented by the Garden Conservancy and the Ruth Bancroft Garden.
