Small shrubs add texture and dimension to the landscape through multiple seasons. Whether grouped with larger shrubs and trees or mixed into a perennial border, they can create a solid-looking ground layer that can tie the entire planting together or can provide points of interest. Horticultural technologist Rachel Brinkman, Horticultural Technologist at the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University, will lead this walk through the Arboretum landscape on Tuesday, June 24, from 4 – 6, pointing out a variety of smaller shrubs, both deciduous and evergreen, with suggestions for their use in the home landscape. Fee: $20 Arboretum member, $30 nonmember. Register online at https://my.arboretum.harvard.edu/SelectDate.aspx. (Eastern leatherwood pictured below.)
