Get ready for a fast-paced, informative, exploration of modern gardening. Join Jenks as he shares the realities behind the meadow craze.
About this Event

Getting a Meadow Is Like Getting a Puppy — Debunking Trendy Myths of Modern Gardening is a FREE lecture that promises to pull back the curtain on the lawn-and-meadow craze that’s swept the gardening world. Jenks’ new book pulls no punches. Over more than three decades, he’s ridden the tide of hype, stumbled in his own beds, and watched as flashy simplifications promised paradise but delivered more confusion than clarity. Now, with candor and a lot of practical experience, he aims to help Southerners and aspiring gardeners actually succeed by understanding the real interplay of plants, soil, climate, and even the often-forgotten role of fungi. Sponsored by the Rowan County Extension Master Gardener Association and Hurley Park of Salisbury.
