Shade Garden Team
Team members learn about perennials and woody plants that grow well in full shade or dappled shade. Other learning opportunities include:
- plant division and transplanting (timing and techniques)
- pruning techniques (numerous specimen trees in the garden)
- how to cut back different species of hydrangeas
- ground hugging shade plants that reduce mulching needs
- diagnosing and managing pest problems (jumping worms and slugs primarily)
- preventing hosta damage from deer
- diagnosing and managing disease problems (monitoring Japanese maples for verticilium wilt)
