There’s a lot to consider when adding new plants to your garden. On Tuesday, May 15 beginning at 6 pm, learn how to choose healthy specimens at the garden center and how best to plant trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants to get them off to a good start in your urban garden. Mark Richardson, Botanic Garden Director of the New England Wild Flower Society, will be the featured speaker.

The Urban Gardening Series is a set of lectures designed to help city dwellers grow healthy, sustainable, and beautiful gardens. Led by New England Wild Flower Society in partnership with the Cambridge Conservation Commission, these free lectures take place at the Cambridge Public Library, 449 Broadway, Cambridge, MA.  Image from www.greencitygrowers.com.
