Sip of Spring

Yesterday, we attended a workshop at Shady Acres Perennial Nursery in New Berlin.

The presenter was Jim Garbe.

The topic was "Sip of Spring."

Jim talked about some of the great new cultivars of perennials like Achillea, Astilbe, Echinacea, Geranium, Hemerocallis, Heuchera, Heucherella, Mukdenia, Salvia, and Vernonia.

He also talked about maintenance, fertilizer, pest control, watering, containers, rain gardens, native plants, and sustainability.

Great program.
