Design-less Gardening: An Ecological Approach

The September meeting of the Somerville Garden Club will feature Dan Jaffe, Propogator and Stock Bed Grower at the New England Wild Flower Society, as guest speaker. Dan will discuss his ideas on disregarding traditional design rules and adopting a new approach to garden design by looking to nature for inspiration. He will share his expertise on creating a design-less, low maintenance garden with an ecological approach; a garden that does not require many inputs in the way of watering, fertilizing, or extra coddling on your part.

All Somerville Garden Club meetings are free and the public is invited to attend. Meetings are held the second Wednesday of every month, on the wheelchair-accessible second floor of the Tufts Administration Building. Parking is available on site and the building is a short walk from the Davis Square T station. Meetings begin with club announcements, followed by a plant question and answer roundtable, a horticulture-related speaker or demonstration, and conclude with a raffle of donated plants and garden items. Please visit www.somrvillegardenclub.org for additional information. 
And don't miss our big Perennial and House Plant Sale!
Saturday, September 21, 9 AM-1 PM, in the heart of Davis Square.
Cash, checks, and credit cards accepted.
