The Andover Garden Club will hold a membership meeting and landscape-design lecture titled “Simplifying Gardens to Fit Our Lifestyles,” Tuesday, Oct. 1, at 10 a.m. at South Church, 41 Central St., Andover.
Nationally known gardening expert and teacher Kerry Ann Mendez will provide easy-to-follow landscape downsizing strategies, recommend no-fuss plant material, and offer design tips for stunning year-round gardens that will be as close to autopilot as one can get.
Mendez is director of marketing for Faddegon’s Nursery, a premier garden center in Latham, N.Y. She is dedicated to teaching the art of low-maintenance perennial gardening and landscaping. As a garden consultant, designer, writer, teacher and lecturer, she focuses on time-saving gardening techniques and workhorse plants, as well as organic practices. She has been in numerous magazines, including Horticulture and Fine Gardening and has been a featured guest on HGTV as well as local television shows. Self-taught, with more than 25 years of experience, she is a “passionate perennialist” who enjoys mixing humor with practical information.
This event is free for members. A $10 donation is requested for guests (includes refreshments).
