Garden School Workshop:
Drought Tolerant Plant Nursery Tour
This event is a true treat. You will learn about amazing drought tolerant plants and gardens while touring two of Oregon's unique nurseries, Dancing Oaks and Daryll's Nursery. The tour begins at 11:00 a.m. at Dancing Oaks with a walking lecture on drought tolerant plants while you gaze upon amazing display gardens. After the lecture you'll have a boxed lunch, tea, and dessert in the pavilion, and plenty of time to shop for plants at a 15% discount! At 2:30 the group will arrive at Daryll's Nursery for a walking lecture focusing on cistus (over 40 varieties) and ornamental grasses (over 100 varieties). After the lecture there is time for more shopping at a 15% discount! If you have dry patches, want to reduce your water bills, or lack an irrigation system, this is the event for you. Dancing Oaks is located in Monmouth and Daryll's is in Dallas so carpooling is encouraged; information about carpooling options will be sent to you a week before the class.
11 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Two nurseries in Monmouth & Dallas, Oregon $19, HPSO members and guests only. Register online.
