Andrew Mikolaski, who is a garden writer and speaker will give us a talk titled Plants for Shade. Gardeners often wonder what to plant in a shady spot, we all have them, in fact the possibilities are endless. So look at your shady areas, note the gaps that need filling and get ideas from Wednesday’s talk.
