  6. What Can I Plant There? Filling in those blank spaces in your landscape

    Nov 30, 2022, 10:00am - 3:00pm

    As landowners, we are sometimes challenged with how to manage open spaces. Perhaps you are sick of mowing, or you’d like more trees on your property. Maybe you’d like to provide native plants for pollinators, install a windbreak or screen, or a rain garden. The options can be overwhelming, and it can be hard to know where to start. In this class, we will start with a 2-acre plot of open land and guide you through the establishment of different plantings.
