Herbaceous perennials are mostly non-woody plants that re-appear year after year. They represent exceptional value to the gardener.
In this workshop, we will discuss the use of herbaceous perennials in the home garden. Topics discussed include the design, installation, and upkeep of perennial gardens. Soil requirements, site, garden worthiness, and plant selection will also be covered.
