Rejuvenating an Existing Landscape
Kassandra Ryerson, Kaisner Landscaping
You may have heard the phrase “the bones are good” when it comes to talking about the structure of a house. The same saying can go for your landscape. Whether you have some stable plants that aren’t looking the best, or your style has changed to salvaging an old sidewalk, there are ways to “work with what you have,” as the saying goes, while keeping a budget-friendly approach. This workshop will give you a step-by-step process on where to start, when to ask for help, and how to design your plan to get you to the transformation you want to achieve.

How to Create a Hummingbird Cafe
Carol Csanda, McLean County Master Gardener
