SUMMARY:Gardening on Slopes
DESCRIPTION:Gardening on Slopes\nwith Nina Shippen \nSaturday\, June 27  |  10 am – 12 pm \nBREG – EcoGardening Core \nREGISTER HERE \nGardeners who don’t have to deal with slopes in Western North Carolina are a rarity.

Designer Nina Shippen shares methods for assessing slopes\, remedies to prevent and correct erosion\, and reviews useful plants for slopes. When to call for professional engineering or construction interventions will also be covered. Participants are invited to send photos in advance of this onsite class to include in discussion. \nNina Shippen practices residential landscape and garden design through her company Hidden Road Landscape Design\, which focuses on coupling the principles of healing gardens with sound ecologic practices to create satisfying gardens for her clients.

DESCRIPTION:Fall Pruning 101\nwith Jeff Seitz \nWednesday\, November 5  |  1 – 3 pm \nBREG – Elective \nREGISTER HERE \nFall and early winter are usually the best seasons to prune your shrubs and trees in the home landscape but\, knowing how to prune different species so that they thrive can be a challenge.
