Trough Gardens:
Miniature landscapes
add interest to your
outdoor living areas.
Trough gardening is a fun
way to show off interesting
dwarf conifers and trees in
a mini garden landscape.  
Succulents, sedums, dwarf
conifers, Japanese maples,
rocks, and bark can be
used to create wonderful
little worlds for table top
interest.  New this year we
are offering a selection of
Japanese maples and other
deciduous trees and shrubs
for trough gardening.  
Again, we have a variety of
dwarf conifers and an
increased selection of
succulents and sedums, all
suitable for trough
gardening.  Stop on out for
already planted troughs or
to pick up plants and
troughs for your own
creation.  

Bud will be offering a new
class:  
Trough Gardening
(free) in which he will
demonstrate how to make
your own hypertufa trough
garden and how to plant it
up.

The other class in April
ready for sign up is the  
Container Gardening Class
(fee) on April 21st.  Call or
email to sign up.
