Gardeners of all skill levels – from greenhorn to green thumb – can learn how to use native plants in their landscaping during a free program at 6:30 p.m., Nov. 8, at Mentor Public Library’s Main Branch, 8215 Mentor Ave.
Natalie Gertz-Young from the Lake Soil and Water Conservation District will explain how to turn a home landscape into a native plant oasis. Those who attend will also learn about winter sowing and plant a mini-native greenhouse that they can take home.
Those who wish to attend the program can register at www.mentorpl.org or by calling the library at 440-255-8811, ext. 247.
Mentor Public Library also offers a seed library with free veggie, flower and herb seeds. Anyone with a CLEVNET card in good standing can borrow up to 15 packets of seeds per season.
