Your Living Landscape - Upper Valley Spring Gardening Symposium

Your Living Landscape

March 17, 2018
8:45 am to 2:15 pm
Frontier Regional High School - South Deerfield, MA



Featuring Henry Homeyer
speaking on
Sculpting the Living Landscape


Many of us have limited space for gardening, but still want a vegetable garden as well as the beauty of a flower garden. Henry shows us how to do both! He’ll talk about how to create beauty in both the vegetable and flower gardens through the use of well-placed woody plants, stone, structures and by choosing plants that contribute to the landscape with their color and forms.

PLEASE!!! Choose ONLY ONE workshop in each session. There is no need to pick a 2nd choice, since you won't be able to choose a workshop if it is already full. It just makes extra work for our registrar!

Workshops - Choose from 16 topics in two concurrent sessions, offering ideas for nourishing you, your garden and the planet
