Greenroof Garden Structures
Greenroofs are in vogue as environmentally useful run-off reducers
and carbon-consumers in large urban settings. In the home garden they're
really pretty.
Vance Blaisdell, a skilled craftsman and most excellent gardener, will
explain how to build a structure, and select and plant appropriate plants
to make your own small-sized greenroof structure.
- Gunnera, King of the Jungle
Sat. June 27th, 2 pm
Vance takes the stage again, this time to talk about one of his
favorite plants, the Gunnera, a.k.a. Dinosaur Food, and explain how
to grow these beautiful, giant perennials.
Remember, we will be closed July 4th. The weekend after that is our annual
Buy One, Get One Free Colorspot Sale.
