Event Details

Our guest speaker, Mary Shearman Reid, will talk to us about growing and caring for vines. Vines can be versatile – up, down and over – adding a different dimension to your garden. Some are aggressive – some are slow to take hold.  You can probably find one for most tastes: ornamental, native, winter interest and edible.  We’ll look at their history as well as those varieties that are popular nowadays.
