Savoring sizzling plant combinations in other peoples’ gardens, Karen Bussolini took a closer look at what made certain combinations work – or not. On Tuesday, May 24 from 1:30 – 3 at Elm Bank, 900 Washington Street in Wellesley, allow Bussolini, garden writer and consultant, to show you how to create a truly satisfying garden… more than just a bunch of nice plants. She will show you how to make them interact, to carry on a conversation, and to have dynamic contrasts. This Massachusetts Horticultural Society program is $12 for Mass Hort members, $20 for nonmembers. Register online at www.masshort.org/education-classes.  Photo by Karen Bussolini.
