What's Happening in November at the GWC
NC Winters can be long and cold, but they don't have to be boring. Take a dose of GWC and avoid the winter garden blahs! And where else can you see a sawmill older than the trees it's turning into lumber? Only at the Gardeners of Wake County, of course!
North Carolina winters may be long and cold but, for gardeners, they never have to be boring. That’s the message November 20th guest speaker Steve Brown brings to the final 2018 Gardeners of Wake County monthly meeting. Steve is the Nursery Manager at Raleigh’s Homewood Nursery and Garden Center where he’s been sharing his love of wintertime plants with area gardeners for 18 years. Most cold weather gardeners look to five areas for inspiration: attractive winter bark; colorful or distinctive stems and twigs; winter fruits and berries; ornamental grasses; and cheerful winter flowers. Steve will address those areas and more. “Overall,” Steve says, “my goal is to show local gardeners that a winter garden doesn’t have to be a dull and barren landscape. You can enjoy the beauty of nature all year long.”
