Upcoming Classes inclduing at edith Wharton’s Estate

I’ve added a number of new events to my schedule since my last newsletter.  Am I crazy?!  Well, a tad….but I just love speaking, teaching and inspiring folks of all ages to garden happier, easier, and healthier.

In addition to new engagements in New Hampshire, Connecticut, and New Jersey, I will be returning to Edith Wharton’s Estate (www.edithwharton.org), The Mount, in the Berkshires (MA) to participate in another fundraiser.  Please plan to join me on Thursday, June 20 from 9:00 – Noon. The program features two of my most popular garden lectures – Gold Medal Perennials, Flowering Shrubs and Annuals for Gardens in the Northeast and Simplifying Gardens to Fit Changing Lifestyles. This inspiring lecture provides easy-to-follow downsizing strategies, recommended no-fuss plant material, and design tips for stunning year-round gardens that will be as close to ‘autopilot’ as you can get.. The registration fee is $40 per person or $35 if you are a member of The Mount.  Registration includes two lectures, continental breakfast, admission to the estate and grounds as well as a guided tour of the gardens at 2:00 p.m. To register, please call the Mount at (413) 551-5111 or click here.  You may also register on the Mount’s event’s page. For a complete list of my lectures and locations, visit localhost/pyours/events.

There is also a ‘wheelbarrow’ load of events and workshops offered at Faddegon’s Nursery this spring including a stunning Tropical Open House and Plant Show (February 9 & 10) as well as two bus trips – one to the Boston Flower Show (www.bostonflowershow.com) on March 14 and another to the Garden in the Woods (http://www.newfs.org/visit/Garden-in-the-Woods) in Framingham, MA on Tuesday, April 30. To learn more about all of the special events, visit www.faddegons.com or call (518) 785-6726.  The calendar is updated monthly.
