Join the Polk County Master Gardeners for their 2026 Summer Lecture Series in one of four demonstration gardens. Bring your own lawn chair and learn with us.
In this class, Dustin Reese, Nursery Manager, Ted Lare Garden Center, will discuss bloom times, structure, and foliage to better understand how gardens evolve over a season and help ensure our gardens look their best all year long. We will also dive deeper into "off season" interest by looking at plant options to add to your garden. These options will bridge cold-season gaps and keep your garden the envy of the neighborhood even in the dead of winter.
