Description
Is your store or design business located in a well-established neighborhood where mature trees cast heavy shade? Does that shade also offer a haven for deer and rabbits? What kinds of plants are you offering as solutions to those landscape challenges? If the soil particularly sandy or heavy clay in your area, are you recommending plants that can thrive in the native soil? This talk will help you build a rolodex of plants that provide much needed solutions for these and more common gardening challenges.
