We enjoyed the “Getting Ready for Spring” gardening presentation by Betsy Kingery, a master gardener with the Montgomery County Master Gardener Program.

This talk addressed getting ready for the Spring landscape gardening season. We learned what to do at the end of Winter and early Spring and how to plan for later in the year. There is an overview on climate conscious gardening and diverse planting with native and non-native/non-invasive plants.

After the presentation, we enjoyed talking with guests and members and had snacks and beverages. We also admired one of members Art in Bloom floral arrangement, a continuation of our past activities where we created floral arrangements that were inspired by artist’s paintings.  Allison was so inspired, she happened to discover a Matisse print that reminded her of her grandmother. 

Here are some photos from this event.

After the presentation, Betsy Kingery sent us an informative Resource and Plant List for Gardening including online resources, recommended books, and plants for sun and shade. Click on the link to this guide below:
