Apr 18th, 2019	Gwen Odermatt of Petals and Butterflies Nursery is presenting ‘Treasures of the Shade and Pond’ - “This is a look at my own shade garden (perennials) & its development over many years – what I’ve learned, what my garden has taught me, the joy of learning about plants... I include a bit about our pond because it highlights that gardens are not only about plants but about other forms of life as well. It is always special to find a newt hiding in leaf duff or hearing the song of a Townsend’s garden solitaire & others that bring life to the garden.”
