Garden Pests: Learn to Identify the Problems One of the best ways to maintain a healthy garden is to learn to identify common garden pests and how to responsibly handle them. Dependable Plants for Difficult Places Discover the tried and true go-to plants (trees, shrubs, vines, perennials) for our area as Carol looks at planting difficult spaces. Creating a Rain Garden w/ Carol Allen, Horticulturist, Teacher, ISA Certified Arborist Rain gardens have the potential to solve drainage problems, add beautiful landscaping with native plants, help support beneficial pollinators, and mitigate storm water from running directly into the Bay. In addition, some counties subsidize the cost of a project like this (go online and check with your county). Join Carol as she wades into the subject of rain gardens.

Expand your horizons to include asparagus, potatoes, onions, & garlic. Growing Veggies & Herbs in Small Spaces & Containers Learn about growing fresh vegetables & herbs in raised beds and containers, and what can grow vertically. Carol will discuss the best plants to use and the sun, soil and fertilizer requirements for growing these plants in small spaces. Creating a Pollinators Paradise Do you want to attract bees and butterflies to your yard?
