Ferns for Inside and Out
Saturday, June 9, 10am to noon 
Learn about hardy and tender ferns for the New England landscape. Ferns have been fixtures in nature's design plan for millions of years, in temperate as well as tropical climates. Increasingly they are finding their way into the garden setting, not just for shady corners but also to add architectural structure, color and texture to shade borders, containers and woodland gardens.
Join expert David Burdick, owner of Daffodils and More in Dalton, Massachusettes in this fascinating demonstration, lecture and fern sale!
Members: $22, Nonmembers: $27 |
