Gardeners' Give & Take: First 2011 Session Highlights

Kicking Off the Year with Lively Garden Talk

The first Gardeners' Give & Take of 2011 brought together familiar faces and newcomers for a wide-ranging discussion at Urban Roots. Topics flew across the table:

• Attracting birds and creating habitat without feeders
• Managing wildlife pests—especially rabbits and rats
• State policies on invasive plants
• Forcing bulbs indoors and getting double duty from outdoor bulbs
• Foundation plantings as a design consideration

The conversation was rich and informative, and we're eager to continue exploring these themes in upcoming sessions. New participants are always welcome at this low-key roundtable, meeting Saturday mornings at 10 a.m. on:

• January 22nd
• February 5th and 19th
• March 5th and 19th

Come share your questions, successes, and garden curiosities.
