"The Glory of the Winter Garden"

Lisa Turoczi of EarthTones Native Plant Nursery in Woodbury will give a presentation at the February 14 meeting of the Pomperaug Valley Garden Club on the "Glory of the Winter Garden." She will discuss how to choose plants that offer appealing characteristics for the cold months as well the rest of the year. Instead of just flowers, gardeners should think about a plant's leaves, bark, form, seeds, and fruit. Select native shrubs like red cedars (for their evergreen forms), birches (for their attractive exfoliating bark) or winterberries (for their red fruit). She will also discuss how to change your garden maintenance routine to benefit your winter garden. The public is invited. There is a $5 guest fee.
