What do Midwest butterflies need, how do they use gardens, and how can you create a garden for their benefit? These questions (and more) will be answered along with several handouts so you can make 2023 your best butterfly season yet.

We will look at seasons of life in a garden, the ever changing landscape…gradually and peacefully, with adjustments along the way.  Then, in a moment the landscape is forever changed…and finding the long and winding road back. 

Anyone can enter a hosta show.  Using slides and handouts, instructor will discuss how to select leaves and prepare containers, how to groom entries, what to do at the show, and discuss how entries are judged.

Hydroponic propagators can be used to create multiple clones of a plant. It can also be used to rescue hostas that have lost most of their roots or have lost their roots during division. Propagators are also used to root hardwood cuttings of shrubs during the winter months. We will discuss available propagators, supplies, techniques and new methods. Learn how to make clones of your garden plants to create an impressive border or to quickly multiply a plant to increase your plants for hybridization.
