David Rice manages the Water Conservation Learning Garden. We are so lucky
to have this amazing resource right here in our stake boundaries. David is
very knowledgeable about perennials and water needs and will walk us thought
the gardens and provide information on the planting and care of perennial
plants. The gardens are just coming into full bloom now and are absolutely
inspiring. As an added bonus, they have a great square foot garden and he
will answer questions about this increasingly popular vegetable gardening
technique. This is our chance to consider plants suitable for our church
flower beds and which ones you may want to incorporate in your home gardens.
Bring your friends and family who want to know more about perennials or
vegetable gardening. Meet in the Learning Garden parking lot at 7:00. For
more information on the learning garden check out the Weber Basin link on
this blog
