The topic was "Low Maintenance Gardening - Foolproof Plants for the Weekend Gardener."
The presenter was Roy Diblik of Northwind Perennial Farm.
Roy is a proponent of "Know Maintenance Gardening."
He made a strong case for planting the right plants in the right locations. He had many specific recommendation of Alliums, Salvias, Nepetas, and hardy clumping grasses.
He said that a garden requires bulbs (I agree 100%).
He cautioned against too much organic matter for those herbaceous perennials that enjoy lean soils.
Very informative and well-worth attending.
It was scheduled for 90 minutes but went a full 2 hours, and would have continued if the administration has not shooed us out.
Counts as 2 MGV education hours.
