Today we had the pleasure of giving a greenhouse tour to a great group, the Master Gardeners of Thurston County. It was a gorgeous day for talking ornamental grasses, ground covers, and native plants.
David showed the new grasses of 2017 and how to care for them.
After a little show and tell, we continued by taking a tour of the 14 greenhouses. There was an exchange of ideas and knowledge.
We look forward to doing this again next year!
