Vertical Gardening
Olbrich Botanical Gardens, Madison, WI
Consider the opportunity to modify your landscape and grow plants "upwards." Vertical gardening focuses on the maximum use of vertical growing space while minimizing the horizontal space required in a traditional garden. Join Mark Dwyer of Rotary Gardens from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. and learn how this approach can be done through specific plant selection, the use of vines, specialty containers, support systems, and more. This approach is ideal for the smaller yard, tight spaces, and even the apartment balcony! $15 ($12 members). For more information contact Olbrich Botanical Gardens, 3330 Atwood Ave., Madison, WI 53704; phone (608) 246-4550.
