As he prepared to return to Monticello following his presidency\, Jefferson began planning more extensive flower gardens on the grounds of the house. Master Gardener Cate Mueller will show you those gardens and how many of the perennials seen there still take pride of place in American gardens today.  Jefferson holds a special position in the gardening history of the United States\, but many\, if not most\, of us find ourselves connected intimately to our personal “heritage gardening” that we have learned from our own families. Cate will show connections that her own garden has with her family heritage as well as with the gardens in the Age of Jefferson.  \n\n\n\nThe class is free\, but registration is required. The Zoom link will be sent after registration.

Among the benefits\, natives use less water and fertilizer since they thrive in local conditions. Through his own trial and error process combined with an understanding of environmental factors\, Ron discovered that he not only transformed his backyard but also stimulated his own well-being. His examples will include the various ground covers\, vines\, perennials\, shrubs\, and trees he used to create his garden habitats. Join us to learn from his gardening experiences and be encouraged to enhance your own backyard with native plants. \n\n\n\nRegister: https://signup.com/client/invitation2/secure/627001094157258018/false#/invitation URL:https://mghc.org/calendar/september-third-saturday-class-why-native-plants/ LOCATION:Zoom Video Meeting CATEGORIES:Third Saturday Class ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://mghc.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/unnamed-e1610732016186.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20200815T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20200815T120000 DTSTAMP:20260425T070421 CREATED:20200806T124020Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240710T212932Z UID:463-1597485600-1597492800@mghc.org SUMMARY:3rd Saturday Class: Pollinator Gardens Through the Seasons DESCRIPTION:“Pollinator Gardens through the Seasons” will highlight native plants recommended to sustain pollinators throughout the year.
