Description
Gardens can quickly get away from us in the summertime, with elevated temperatures and rainfall causing many plants to grow in leaps and bounds. Learn and discuss approaches to early-summer maintenance to help you stay ahead of challenges experienced in the throes of the growing season, from simple techniques, like managing the size of those oft-flopping tall perennials with a simple โChelsea Chop,โ to more complex management strategies.
This program takes place in person at Mt. Cuba Center on Sunday, May 5, 2024.
