'What is Your Garden Style?' It doesn't matter if your garden grows symmetrical green bumps or features funky, found objects, it is your garden. Recognizing your own style helps create a garden that is cohesive and distinctive. If you are just starting out, the opportunities are endless, and that can be a blessing and a curse. If your garden is established, push through the inertia to recapture that thrill of something new. We'll talk about the possibilities. 'Bring Home a Little Wow' Simply put, "Wow" is what we say when we trip over excellence in the garden. Whether it is a delight to the eye, unexpected humor, or a tug on the heartstrings, garden surprises transform a garden walk into an experience, and therefore, a memory. Carefully composed plantings, over-achieving plants, and creative garden ornament can each provide a 'Wow' moment. Linda will share some of her favorite Wows from over three decades of travel as a garden journalist with the hope of sending us home to create a little Wow in our own gardens. Garden lectures (1:30 and 6:30 PM) and plant sale as well as potluck dinner are free and open to the public. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Did your email address change?
