*Program*:
*A Change of Scenery (big ideas for less landscape labor)*

*Description:*
Garden columnist Jan Riggenbach shares a potpourri of ideas
to enhance your landscape without enlarging your to-do list.
She will discuss how to: find plants that really will thrive
in dry shade or in solid clay; grow beautiful sod that never
needs mowing; choose plants that are tougher than your dog; let
your trees mulch your perennials; create a fresh produce aisle
outside your back door; make your borders look-—and be—-good
enough to eat; and more.

*Format: *Jan will speak, take questions and sign copies of her book:
Your Midwest Garden, An Owner's Manual.
Refreshments will be served.
*Books will be available for sale and a portion of the purchase price
will benefit Woodlands Garden Club*
