Creating a Plant Palette

$38

with Lynn Wiese, Mid-Coast School of Technology Adult Education

Calendar Oct 22, 2024 at 6 pm, runs for 1 week

When selecting plants, it's helpful to have a way to narrow down your choices. To do this, I create what I call a "plant palette" which is a matrix that can help you organize plants that would be good to use in your garden. I will walk you through the process step-by-step by using examples, then you can create a plant palette of your own by applying your knowledge on a real-life exercise. All you need for this workshop is a love of plants and gardening.
