  • Tuesday, September 29, 10 am – 12 noon – Evergreen and Perennial Groundcovers

    There are several ways to reduce our lawns and at the same time our reliance on fertilizers and pesticides. On September 29, using the grounds of Tower Hill Botanic Garden, Diane Pappas will show a variety of evergreen and perennial groundcovers that can be utilized in place of lawn and expensive bark mulch. The beds surrounding several gardens contain established colonies of groundcovers that demonstrate their many wonderful qualities. Enjoy year round beauty and significantly less maintenance when you decide to make the switch to living groundcovers.  Fee is $20 for Tower Hill members, $25 for non-members.  Register on line at www.towerhillbg.org.
