- A gardener has dreams of fresh vegetables every night of the season and knows all those gorgeous flowers in garden centers must find a place in the landscape. By mid-summer, if dreams were too big, gardening is not an enjoyable hour of puttering, but an endless chore to keep it all looking respectable. This hour-long workshop will help participants focus their gardening enthusiasm so it stays enjoyable all season long.
