Presented by Pam Hamamoto
“Some you know, and some I’ll bet you don’t!” That’s what Pam is teasing us with for this informative presentation on shrubs for our area. She also promises that most of them are low-water-using while others are even no-water-using! And, best of all, most have been ordered for the big plant sale.

Have fun and save money growing colorful perennials from seed. Perennials
are an easy way to add color, form and texture to the landscape. Many of the colorful perennials that are so successful in our gardens are quite easy to start from seed. “Easy Perennials” will focus on high impact perennials that don’t require high input (water, fertilizer, pesticides and time) and simple seed starting techniques that will help you start or add to your own colorful garden. Cathie has been a Colorado Master Gardener and has spent several years working at the Colorado Springs Utilities Xeriscape Demonstration Garden.

For this special program, start cutting interesting seedheads and flowers and drying them. Bring them and a six-inch pot to this session, and you’ll take home an arrangement as well as help us create one-of-a-kind centerpieces for our annual dinner tables. **Please spray your dried flowers and seedheads with hair spray (cheapest is best).**

Late summer is here. Is your garden waning at this point, or is it blooming gloriously? Pam will share some excellent choices for late summer color in our gardens – tough, hardy, colorful plants that can also take our extreme weather changes at this time of year (rain, no rain, hail, early near freezes, etc, etc, etc). A list by color, height, and water needs will be provided for some dynamite plants. Come be inspired and take away ideas for additions to your late summer garden.
