Ensuring the long-term health of your landscape starts with healthy plants from the nursery, proper site selection and preparation, and sound planting and establishment. Andrew Gapinski, Head of Horticulture at the Arnold Arboretum, will discuss professional standards and techniques, along with common issues and solutions for both balled-and-burlapped and containerized specimens.
He will focus on landscape trees, shrubs, and perennials. Ornamental annuals and vegetables will not be covered in this offering. The lecture will take place in the Hunnewell Building, 125 Arborway, on May 4 from 1 – 3.
Class will start indoors and then move outdoors to the Dana Greenhouse Nursery. $30 for Friends of the Arboretum, $42 for the general public. Register at http://my.arboretum.harvard.edu, or call 617-384-5277.
