Color is a primary component of most gardens, but often the only consideration given is to the gardener’s likes and dislikes. Color is a tool that can influence the viewer’s perception of a garden space; its size, its personality and its emotional temperature. This online presentation will cover the basics of color theory and examine how thoughtful, deliberate use of color can help achieve the desired garden experience. This is a non-interactive presentation, available for viewing between July 13 and 31. Supplemental information will be included. Upon successful completion of a short quiz, students will receive two educational hours and a certificate of completion.

This class will focus on the late season chores involved with beekeeping. Discussion of honey harvest, uses of wax, other products from bees. If the weather is conducive and if the hives are amenable, we will take a look inside. The same warning applies as the above session, if we open the hives.
Note: while bee stings are unlikely because of the time of year and the use of a smoker, there is a chance for that occurrence. Please let us know if you have extreme sensitivity. Bring epi-pen.

Have you ever been completely flummoxed by the idea of keying out a plant sample in order to ID it – whether in the Master Gardener office, or in your own back yard? This presentation and hands-on tutorial will familiarize you with this Most Helpful of field guides, plus give you a refresher on all those botanical terms that are so useful when trying to ID plants.
The Wildflower Walk will be an opportunity to practice what you have just learned while we play with the local Flora. The grounds around the Bartlett Arboretum have a lovely variety of wildflowers, and we will explore what Mother Nature has to show us.
Bring a copy of Newcomb’s Wildflower Guide if you have one, and a magnifying glass or hand lens. Dress properly for our walk, which will take place rain or shine.
Feel free also to bring samples of Mystery Plants from your own yard, too (no Poison Ivy, please!).
