Layers of Beauty: Groundcovers as Living Mulch

Sunday, March 23rd 1 – 2:30 pm

with Tobey Nelson, CPH

Most gardeners are frustrated by weeds. We spread mulch to suppress them but eventually that mulch breaks down, the seeds blow in, and the weeds come back. Mother Nature hates bare ground, and she’ll use weeds to cover it up. Smart gardeners will work with nature; instead of leaving bare ground between shrubs, plant something! There are several benefits of covering the ground with plants: it keeps soil cool, the shade will prevent weeds from sprouting, and having foliage close to the ground can actually help keep moisture in the soil. Depending on what plants you choose, you can also bring more beauty to your garden and add food for wildlife as well! In this class we’ll dig a bit deeper into how to use this strategy in your garden, and we’ll talk about lots of options of plants to use for a living mulch layer. Students will receive a coupon for 20% off plants, class fee is $15. To register call 360-321-9931 or Click Here!
