2012 Weekend Gardener Seminars

    There are six sessions this year held on consecutive Tuesday evenings, starting on March 13, 2012 and ending on April 17, 2012.  All classes are held from 7:00 – 9:15 PM at Commissioner’s Hall, Youngwood Campus of Westmoreland County Community College. To register call WCCC at 800-262-2103. The cost is $15.00/class for Westmoreland County residents, higher fees for non-residents.

     Bill Hendricks, expert horticulturist and owner/operator of Klyn Nursery in Lake County, Ohio will be our leadoff speaker on March 13.  Bill will show you how to use leaf texture, color and contrast for beauty that lasts all year round, rather than just during bloom.

     Other topics include “Gardening with (despite) Deer” with professional gardener Carol Chernega, “Pruning Woody Plants” by Penn State Extension Agent Eric Oesterling, “Combining Annual and Perennial Flowers to Create Beautiful Gardens” by Westmoreland County Community College Professor Xuri Zhang;  “Dealing with Wildlife in the Landscape – the Good, Bad, Beautiful and Fascinating” with Penn State Wildlife Professor Emeritus Gary San Julian and last but not least “Using Rain Gardens and other Techniques to Solve Problems and Beautify Your Landscape” with landscape architect Kathy Hamilton.

   All classes are $15.00 for Westmoreland County Residents.  To see more on dates and registration check out our Events section on the right side of our web page.  Scroll down to March 13 to find this event.
