10 AM: Landscape Design 101

• Emily will offer an engaging and informative program on the basics of landscape design. This session is perfect for anyone interested in creating a beautiful and functional outdoor space. Participants will gain foundational knowledge in landscape design principles, explore design styles, and gain confidence that will allow them to begin personalizing their landscape.

11:30 AM Four Seasons of Unique Garden Tasks

• Many gardeners know the basics—plant, water, weed—but what about the garden tasks that play a supporting yet critical role in the landscape? During this educational session, Emily will provide a guide for seasonal gardening tasks that contribute to a successful gardening experience. She will also answer your landscape questions, like: What season is best for planting trees? When should houseplants be repotted? When is the best time to fertilize my lawn? and more.
