Holiday Decorating

Gardening, like most every other pastime, is an on going learning experience. Much of what good gardeners learn comes from what we read in books or magazines, which we then put to the test in our gardens. Yet, some of the best lessons are passed along to us from other gardeners. Simple lessons such as the best time to prune a hydrangea (this depends on the type of hydrangea you have), what to feed dahlias to ensure vibrant blooms, and just how much direct sun a hosta can tolerate are a few of the things learned during the regular course of a budding gardener’s career. We can learn a lot from friends who garden but those who are new to the game can find gardening friends by attending local gardening classes in their community.

Continuing education programs, county extensions, and botanical gardens all offer a wide range of courses at convenient times and locations. A few of us at Poundridge Nurseries regularly teach local gardening courses. We invite you click on the course listings in this blog which will link you to the website with more information. Or visit the website directly at www.wiltoncontinuinged.org.
