Classes at the Arvada Community Garden Meetup Group

There are a vast number of ground covers well suited for the Colorado landscape. This presentation includes annual and perennial varieties. Many are short and hug the ground creating an ideal "living mulch," others are several inches tall and several feet in width. This will include a number of woody shrubs. We'll discuss the exposure, too, sun, shade, partial, and waterwise.
CSU Master Gardeners have got you covered! Kerry Poppe, Jeffco Master Gardener.

Have you ever watched butterflies going from flower to flower in the summer garden? It looks a bit like dancing, dipping and twirling! In the presentation, "Dances with Flowers," we'll explore the various pollinators, besides butterflies, that dance their way through the landscape. Discussion will include plant varieties, not only for the adults, but the young as well. We'll explore ways to protect these important guests as they flit from flower to flower.
