The time for planting colorful annuals is almost here! This community class will teach color and variety combinations to create beautiful displays in flowerbeds. Don't miss this great opportunity to learn how to really use annuals in the landscape for the most impact. Susie and Dori will be designing one of their annual flower beds and will show their step-by-step process.  After the demonstration, the these same plants will be for sale so that you can take them home and plant at in your gardens.  Quantities are limited.  No need to pre-register, just meet at the Education Building at the Ogden Botanical Gardens.

Herbaceous Plants Power Point

Due to popular demand by our Master Gardeners--here is our presentation on Herbaceous Plants.  Hope you enjoy the presentation and that you will join us for our free Annual Bed Design on May 13th.  We are so excited to demonstrate how we design our annual beds and to offer you the same plants to take home and plant.  It will be awesome!  Our plant selection is out-of-this world and they are growing beautifully in our greenhouse.  This is the first year we are offering to show and sell the same plants that we use in our own beds--so we will take out the guess work for you.  Kathy will be posting more information soon for sign ups and volunteer opportunities for May.
