Growing Your Garden Gracefully

May 8, 2023 7:00 pm – 9 pm
Hybrid: In Person at Manotick United Church or on Zoom

Acclaimed gardening personality, Sean James, is our 2023 special guest presenter.  A not to be missed event! 

Is your garden tired or in need of a little sprucing up? Did you inherit somebody else’s garden ‘issues’? Gardeners make mistakes! Hard to admit but true. We’ll examine how to spot those mistakes early on and how to avoid them.  Enjoy this discussion on how a garden changes as it ages and how to manage it. A large and overlooked topic.
