On Saturday, February 20 from 9 am to 4 pm, enjoy a full day of free pruning and garden planning demonstrations, talks and slideshows at Sky Nursery. Topics include: Pruning Fruit Trees, Roses, Japanese Laceleaf Maples, My Rhodie’s Too Big!, How to Prune and Renovate the Overgrown Garden, and more. Author and PlantAmnesty founder Cass Turnbull and a host of other gardening experts will be presenting. For more details on seminars, call Plant Amnesty, 206-783-9813.
Professional Designers - PlantAmnesty approved designers will be on hand to provide 15 minute free 'design solution' consultations for your garden area. You bring -- photos, estimated square footage, soil type (sand, clay or in-between), light and direction of exposure (eg. full sun, south-facing or part shade, north-facing).
Representatives from various plant societies will be there to answer your questions: Master Gardeners, International Society of Arboriculture, Seattle Tree Fruit Society, PlantAmnesty, Seattle Tilth (organic vegetables) and the Seattle Rose Society.
Father Weedo Sarducci will be here with his confessional. He will hear your gardening sins and, when appropriate, dispense forgiveness. Also Lawenda, the beautiful and intriguing plant-channeler, will be there to read your horticultural fortune.
