Are you stuck somewhere in the garden design process?

Did you sketch a design for your yard and start looking for plants, maybe did some weeding or prepped a bed or two, but just aren't sure how to keep going?
Are you looking at the calendar and thinking: What can I still do this season?
It can be a bit overwhelming.
If you find yourself walking around in an unfinished garden project, join us for a discussion and inspiration around:
• Celebrating the season’s victories: Is the yard better than before?
• Hardscapes: Does something need to change? What can we do with the plants in the meantime? How will we find the right contractor or gain the skills to do it ourselves?
• Soil health: Is it where it needs to be?
• Are there still plants we need? Always!
• How can we focus on one task element to get done this year?

You will be encouraged to leave with one goal to complete by the end of the season!
Instructor: Kath Smyth
Although this talk is free, registration is required.
