Spring Gardening Seminar
2015-04-18 | Deschutes Brewery Public House, 1044 NW Bond St, Bend, OR, 97701, United States
Gardening Basics for the High Desert taught by OSU Master Gardener Vickie Minor
If you are new to Central Oregon and do not know what to plant in your landscape (other than vegetables – check the gocomga.com website for those classes), or if you have lived here for a few years but don’t think you can grow anything here, this class is for you. This class focuses on research-based information that is essential to getting your landscape growing including what you need to know about climate and the other key issues that impact the types of perennials, shrubs, trees and annuals you should plant and what will thrive here. This webinar is also great for anyone who just wants basic information on gardening in the area.
