It’s time to spruce up your garden and get ready for the summer season. Join us at Dovecote for several stimulating events that will put the shine on your home environment.
New this year are Cocktails in the Garden − A great time to “sip and chat” as we enjoy a walkabout discussing plants and garden design. It’ll be staged from 5:30 to 6:30 P.M. Thursday, May 25. Learn about our favorite garden cocktails this time of year and brainstorm how your garden can be eco-friendly and beautiful all summer long. This is free.
The Friends of the Albert Carlton-Cashiers Community Library will host “Garden Design: Landscapes that Fit Your Lifestyle like a Glove,” in the Library’s Meeting Room, 4:00 P.M. Thursday, May 25. This presentation is free and will be followed by a stroll to Dovecote’s garden and new pavilion for cocktails and conversation.
Dovecote will offer an EcoGarden Design Course on Friday, May 12. This session will focus on seeds, heritage plants and design. There’s a fee for this presentation.
On Friday, May 26, we’ll present a second EcoGarden Design Course, this one examining techniques for “Designing Your Garden into Your Lifestyle.” There’ll be a fee for this session.
