Saving the Earth, One Habitat Garden at a Time
Tuesday, Oct 7, 7:00 PM-8:30 PM
Native plant steward, Brett Johnson brings his "trunk" show to the Maple Valley Community Center.
So what the heck is a trunk show? Is Brett going to spend an hour talking about tree trunks? Not exactly. The "trunk show" is a program in which Brett piles a table or two (or three or four ...) with plants. As he talks about native plants and why you should choose natives over exotics, Brett lifts examples from his stash, talking about each one and fielding any questions from the audience.
Brett is the owner of Green Man Gardens and co-author of several short books on gardening for wildlife in Western Washington. Brett will bring special request native plants if you email your request early to info@LakeWildernessArboretum.org
Location: Maple Valley Community at 22010SE 248th St Maple Valley
Member fee: $0 Non-Member Fee: $0 Material fee for all attendees: $0
