Do you have a prized rhododendron? Perhaps a prominent spruce? We love those plants that bring some green life into the interminable gray of winter. But did you know they grow differently, have different needs, and therefore need to be cared for differently from plants that lose their leaves? Explore all these topics and more at Tower Hill Botanic Garden, 11 French Drive in Boylston on Thursday, December 6 from 11 – 1 with Worcester Tree Initiative’s Community Forester, Derek Lirange.
Derek Lirange began working at Worcester Tree Initiative (WTI) days after completing his Bachelor’s Degree, from UMASS Amherst, in Urban and Community Forestry in 2013. As WTI’s Community Forester, Derek’s primary role is to work with WTI’s partners coordinating tree plantings, education programs, and workdays. $10 for THBG members, $20 for nonmembers.
