Water Features in Your Garden

Friday, September 12th
1:00pm 

We’re getting out of the dirt for this unique opportunity to learn about a different way to improve your garden with water features. Not just for aesthetics, learn how water features can add to the ecosystem of your landscape, provide for animal life like pollinators as well as bring a creative aspect. Join us as we welcome Joe Granato, from Star Ridge Aquatics to share his expertise about this aspect of gardening that can take your landscape to the next level.

Members: FREE

Non-members: $15
