This educational session provides a guide for seasonal gardening tasks that contribute to a successful gardening experience. Discover answers to landscape questions like: What season is best for planting trees? When should houseplants be repotted? and When is the best time for to fertilize my lawn?
     
• Flowers in the Home Garden @ 11:30 AM
