Informed Gardener
In this introduction to sustainable landscaping practices, Linda Chalker-Scott addresses the most common myths and misconceptions that plague home gardeners and horticultural professionals. Chalker-Scott offers invaluable advice to gardeners who have wondered:

*Are native plants the best choice for sustainable landscaping?
*Should you avoid disturbing the root ball when planting?
*Are organic products better or safer than synthetic ones?
*What is the best way to control weeds -- fabric or mulch?
*Does giving vitamins to plants stimulate growth?
*Are compost teas effective in controlling diseases?
*When is the best time to water in hot weather?
*If you pay more, do you get a higher quality plant?
*How can you differentiate between good advice and bad?

The answers may surprise you! Join Linda at one of the following events for a talk and book signing to learn how you can save time, money, and energy by gardening smarter!
