Even if your garden makes you happy just as it is, there are things you can do in early spring to make the whole season easier and the garden more lush. Shrubs, trees, and groundcover beds benefit from your attention in the spring and repay you with reduced needs in the summer. It’s also a wonderful time to rearrange or expand a perennial garden. This class, with professional gardener and author Janet Macunovich, is a chance to start off on the right foot toward a great season! Macunovich is the author of nine books, including Caring for Perennials: What to Do and When to Do It and Designing Your Gardens and Landscapes: 12 Simple Steps for Successful Planning. Early registration is advised since space is limited. Registration is required by April 6. For more information or to register call 608-246-4550 or visit www.olbrich.org.
