  • Saturday, February 9, 10:30 am – 12:30 pm – Small Plants, Big Bang

    The North Andover Garden Club presents Small Plants, Big Bang with Jen Kettell on Saturday, February 8 from 10:30 – 12:30 at the Stevens Memorial Library, 345 Main Street in North Andover.

    Spring is the ideal time to be transplanting woody plants. Jen will introduce you to new and old favorites for small spaces. In the excitement to create a beautiful outdoor living space, many gardeners overplant (in number or size.) Learn how to avoid this by introducing the smaller gems of the plant world into your garden, such as native groundcovers, dwarf conifers, and more.

    $5 suggested donation for the public.  Jen Kettell is a certified arborist, horticulturist, and lecturer and trainer at the University of Massachusetts and at the Arnold Arboretum at Harvard University. She also consults with the International Society of Arboriculture, as well as The Trustees of Reservations. This program is co-hosted with the Library.
