Spring Garden Workshops at Corliss with Deb Lambert

DETAILS: 
Spring Semester of “Saturday Sessions” ~ 4 classes, starting 2/23/13!

Sat. 2/23/13 ~ "Propagation 101"  The what, when, where and how of starting your own plants from seed, layering and cuttings. Increase your appreciation of this economical, absorbing phase of gardening, and reap the rewards!

Sat. 3/2/13 ~ “The Well-Armed Gardener”  Since “a little knowledge is dangerous,” we’ll provide all the basics needed to succeed with lawns, ornamentals and edibles... stressing the importance of prevention, diagnostics and clean maintenance.

Sat. 3/9/13 ~ “Your Landscape... on a Plan!”  A little armchair gardening never went amiss!  Just before the season begins, we’ll review the basic concepts of a well-designed, high-functioning home landscape and help you avoid costly mistakes and “do-overs.”

Sat. 3/16/13 ~ “Pruning the Landscape ~ A Spring Perspective”… All the in-depth info we cover in fall, including timing, techniques & tools, but with an emphasis on the earliest pruning tasks.

When: Classes are held Saturdays from 9:30-10:30 AM (Stay longer if you can!) *

Where: Here in our on-site classroom, at Corliss Bros Garden Center & Nursery / 31 Essex Road (Rte. 133) / Ipswich, MA 01938.

Who:  OPEN ENROLLMENT, this time 'round.  All new and returning students will be enrolled on a "first come, first served" basis, so register as soon as you know our garden classes will fit into your busy Saturday schedule. **  Initial enrollment, after last week's first announcement, is strong.  Weekly updates, as long as spaces remain, will keep you abreast of enrollment status.  Don't wait too long!  

Registration: Reservations are required, as class size is limited.  To reserve a place in any, or all, of our FREE spring workshops, call 978-356-5422 or drop by the store.  Best way?   Email your info, preferred class/classes and number of attendees to gardenauthor1@verizon.net    

Instructor: Deb Lambert


* Classes are interactive and lively, so we often run over the 10:30 mark.  Beyond this, there is an opportunity to stay “after school” for more individual advice, from myself and members of our knowledgeable staff.

** If you find you cannot attend after enrolling for any of these classes, please drop me an email notice.  This way, any students on our waiting list may attend.

As always, our garden workshops are geared toward expanding the knowledge base of both seasoned and beginning fellow gardeners, while sharing traditional methods and new technologies.  Become the best “green” gardener you can be, as we strive to green up the North Shore, one yard at a time, always exploring the most environmentally sensitive options….. See you in class! ~ Deb
