May 7 – Planning a Rock Garden? Ideas & Tips
Posted by Dustin Horton // April 23, 2013 // Calendar of Events, Home & Garden
Are you ready for a new garden challenge? Why not try rock gardening! In this class you will learn the basics to get you started. After a rain-or-shine tour of the Al Wurster Demonstration Rock Garden, come indoors to learn about its construction, easy plants to grow, and options such as troughs. A slide show will include photos of the 100-year-old Frederick Heutte Rock Garden at White Pine Camp in the Adirondacks.
Planning a Rock Garden will take place Tues. May 7, 6-8 pm at Tompkins County Cooperative Extension, 615 Willow Avenue, Ithaca. Meet at the Extension Building parking lot before the tour. Rain or shine! Pre-registration recommended; limited to 20 attendees. Call 272-2292 for more information or registration. Cost: $5-$10 (self-determined sliding scale fee).
