Sticks and Stones: Designing an Ecological North Country Garden

Description

Sticks and Stones: Designing an Ecological North Country Garden

Join Anne Csete in her 1-acre garden in Russell to learn about incorporating natural elements like stones and branches into your landscaping. Anne will also discuss creating and maintaining wildlife habitat, mixing herbaceous perennials and woody shrubs, combining native and non-native plants, and creating and maintaining effective paths and edges. She will also touch on fall transplanting and “putting a garden to rest” for the winter, as well as any other topics participants are interested in. No special clothing is required; bug spray is recommended. The tour will take place on garden paths, in Anne’s driveway, and on her lawn. Seating is also available during the tour. Anne Csete recently retired from St. Lawrence University where she taught Asian history. She has been gardening at her home outside Russell for over 20 years and has been applying ecological gardening principles and techniques for the last ten years or so. 

This tour is a fundraiser for the SLCCHC historic garden project. Registration required. Register online through the link in our bio, e-mail Carlene Bermann at carlene@slcha.org, or call 315-386-8133. Anne’s address will be provided at registration.
