Kerry Ann Mendez Presents ...
Plant Switcheroos for More Beautiful Flower Gardens
This eye-opening lecture will take the guesswork out of which perennials and flowering shrubs are the best choices, especially for more challenging growing conditions. You simply cannot tell if a plant is a great performer year after year by looking at a pretty picture or attractively maintained inventory at garden centers. For over 30 years I have trialed hundreds of plants. I’m excited to share my results, as well as those of many reliable plant trials across the country. Some of the 'winners' may surprise you! Many natives and nativars will also be spotlighted. This lecture is best suited for gardeners in hardiness Zones 3-8.

Kerry will show you:
- Long-blooming, pollinator-friendly perennials requiring no deadheading, unlike many commonly sold varieties
- Outstanding alternatives to favorite perennials that are short-lived; disease-prone; rapid-spreading; aggressive reseeders; or stake-requiring
- No prune or rarely pruned glamorous flowering shrubs
- Improved stalwarts for dry shade
- Replacing exotic plants with natives that have similar-looking flowers
- and much more
