This is your Ultimate Landscaping Event

Making the Most of Your Landscape

Neil Kobewka, a landscape professional for 13 years will guide you through a typical landscape project, from design to build including whether you diy or hire a contracter.

Donna Balzer, host of television’s Bugs and Blooms () is the common sense gardener. Her basic premise is that gardeners need to plant what grows – in an artistic and interesting way - with a full season of bloom and room for a few veggies and fruits. Donna encourages green gardening and respect for the environment.

Pam Wright, a native plant specialist, will show us how easy it is to choose site specific plants for optimum growth and success in your zeriscape, the inherent disease resistance of your choices, drought tolerance and hardiness. Plant choices for landscapes that will not only survive, but thrive.

  • Where:  Communiplex Theatre
    • 700 2 Avenue
    • Wainwright
    • Three blocks west of the clock
