Andover Garden Club Presents “The Basics of Garden Design”

At the Andover Garden Club’s February 3 meeting, Chris Barboza, nursery manager at Northeast Nursery in Peabody MA, will present “The Basics of Garden Design.”

Barboza has been with the nursery for more than 20 years. For twice that long, Northeast Nursery has been supplying landscapers and homeowners with plants, bulk goods, and gardening supplies

The nursery advises both homeowners and contractors on landscaping projects, including those that present complicated challenges. The staff is comprised of former professional growers, golf-course superintendents, irrigation specialists, and certified arborists. The nursery will send a landscape designer to visit a home and help the owners develop a plan based on their budget and needs.

The public is encouraged to take advantage of this program. A $10 donation is requested of nonmembers. Guests should mention if they are a member of another garden club.
