At some unknown point in time, mulch– black, orange, brown, etc. – became a part of the landscape, but wouldn’t you rather have plants? Anywhere you can put mulch, you can dig a hole and put in a groundcover plant. Groundcover plants = living mulches. Think of the money, time and work you’ll save on mulching every spring. And groundcovers are the go-to plant
for low-maintenance gardens. Besides eliminating the need for mulch, they keep weeds from crowding in; they provide an extra layer of color and flowers; and they help maintain soil moisture, which means less watering. What’s not to like about that? Come learn what to do before you start replacing your boring old mulch with fabulous new groundcovers and find out which groundcovers are right for your garden. Note: If you are not an experienced gardener, it would be helpful to first
attend the Low Maintenance Gardening Workshop before signing up for this class.
