Sick of planting the same boring perennials in the dry, shady areas of your garden? You aren't alone and we've got a solution for that! Tuesday evening we'll be sharing profiles of a bunch of perennials that can thrive in dry shade AND you can reserve them if you see something you absolutely have to plant. Come in at 6 p.m. and we'll start shortly after that. No need to RSVP, free to attend, open to everyone. Join us, won't you?

Join our Garden Center Manager at 1 p.m. Sunday afternoon for a very special look into the world of Monarch Butterflies. Monarchs are iconic; seeing one in the garden makes you stop and stare, but their numbers are dwindling. If you want to learn more about creating a habitat for them as caterpillars, drawing them in as butterflies, as well as helping to support them and increasing their numbers, we look forward to seeing you at the store. Free to attend; open to the public. No need to RSVP.
