About this event
Groundcovers are low-growing plants that serve many purposes in the landscape. These lovely low-growers limit weed growth, stabilize slopes, add texture to your garden, and more! Kathy Jentz, author of the new book, Groundcover Revolution, will cover several of these beautiful, hard-working plants, including several native plant selections.
Intended Audience: Adult All Levels: Suitable for all learners, this program will provide a variety of content. Program providers will answer both introductory and more advanced questions.
