Design-Less Gardening
with Hanover Garden Club

Join the Hanover Garden Club at the Montshire for a discussion on “Design-Less Gardening” with Dan Jaffe from Native Plant Trust.

The program will begin at 1pm with a short business meeting prior to the talk. Refreshments will be served at 2:15​pm.

Disregard traditional design rules and adopt a new approach. What clues can you take from your landscape to help you provide the right plant for the right place? Learn to evaluate sunlight, moisture, soil and other factors to encourage a successful garden that does not require many inputs in the way of watering, fertilizing, extra coddling on your part.
