Join the Trustees of Reservations and the New England Wild Flower Society at Long Hill, in Beverly, Massachusetts, on Tuesday, October 13, from 6:30 – 8:30 pm, for this fascinating workshop with Laura Eisner. Too often the vertical space in the garden is overlooked and underutilized. Why not expand your garden palette and use colorful vines to fill these spaces? This class will explore some of the hardy vines available in the trade, including many native species that attract wildlife and provide texture to the landscape. Information on growing techniques, types of trellises to use, and sources for vines will be provided, as will handouts. Below is a picture of a Louisiana native wisteria. Pre-registration required. Phone 978-921-1944, or email needucation@ttor.org. Log on to www.thetrustees.org for directions.
