New residents to the area may face gardening and landscaping challenges in the unique climate of the Pacific Northwest. To address these challenges, Whites will cover 4 different subject areas, including choosing appropriate plants for a homeowner’s property based on their specific microclimate; basic landscape planning that will help homeowners grow and maintain a sustainable garden; and problem solving techniques to address problems brought on by our wet winters and dry summers. Finally, Margery will offer tools to find appropriate information and resources for additional gardening information.
