Seven Habits of Highly Effective Gardeners
[FERNDALE] – Learn how to work smarter in the garden next year at Sullivan Renaissance’s seminar entitled “Maintenance Madness” on Wednesday, December 7 at 7:00 p.m. at the CVI Center in Ferndale.
Presented by gardening expert Mary Lewis, the seminar will focus on how to manage one’s garden “maintenance madness” through a seven step process to keep the garden beautiful and ones sanity intact. The key elements to managing garden maintenance will be presented through seven habits that teach time management techniques, time saving tools of the trade, site analysis and sound garden design techniques.
"Working smarter rather than working harder is guaranteed to give you more time to enjoy your garden,” Lewis said. “It's all about simplifying and taking control of maintenance tasks. You can explore strategies to fit gardening into even the busiest of lifestyles!”
The new 2012 Sullivan Renaissance maintenance program will also be explained.
