Learn from Brad Roeller, horticultural techniques essential for the home gardener. This two-day, hands-on clinic will focus on renovation of established and old perennial beds, including how to read a planting plan. Techniques will include lifting and dividing perennials, double-digging, soil assessment, application of compost and needed amendments into the lower soil profile and replanting the perennials according to the planting plan. Students will learn how to assess the growing conditions of the bed and determine what amendments should be added to insure optimal plant performance. This course also serves as a foundation for establishing new perennial beds. Tools and materials will be provided.
