Reinventing Groundcovers

Move beyond pachysandra and ivy, and escape the tyranny of mulch! The featured presentation at our spring plant sale by garden designer Renee Marsh will cover a wide range of unique groundcovers that can thrive in shade, in sun, on slopes, or under trees. In addition to providing soil cover and suppressing weeds, groundcovers add texture and color to your garden with minimal maintenance. From evergreen to deciduous, herbaceous to woody, with flowers or striking foliage, this group of plants has something for everyone. Renee will teach the audience how to utilize beautiful and functional groundcovers in their home landscapes, highlighting some unique plants available in the Arboretum’s plant sale.
