Do you have a shady area where the grass isn’t growing? Or maybe you’ve planted only hostas? Worse, do you have invasive plants like Japanese pachysandra, periwinkle, or English ivy? Join Penn State Master Gardener Kevin Kelly for the final webinar of his popular Home Gardening Series. He will discuss the differences between shade and part shade, and introduce a variety of shrubs, perennials, and a few understory trees that can brighten up your shade garden. Many of the plants will be natives, though there are a few excellent non-native choices as well. Some of these plants are underused in most gardens but would make great additions to your landscape.
Come together with Penn State Master Gardeners for tips on selecting the perfect plants for your shade garden! A plant list will be included as a handout to go along with the webinar.
Attend in-person or virtually for a comprehensive experience!
