Use a combination of perennials and annuals for a big impact on your garden.
About this Event

Not only do perennial plants come back year after year with visual interest, they also provide wildlife habitat and other benefits to the gardener. Annuals can be a great way to add seasonal color and cut flowers to your landscape. Learn how to use both of these growth types to your advantage.


The class will be held Thursday, May 14th from 5:30p.m to 6:30pm at The North Park Library: 849 Sharpe Rd, Burlington, NC 27217. Taught by NC Extension Master Gardener℠ volunteers of Alamance County.


The class is free but registration is required.
