Plant It and Forget It by Donna Cottingham, Virginia Master Naturalist. A plant is successful if it not only thrives over time but reproduces. Donna will teach us several approaches to gardening that can save us time, money and water. She will share some tools that help determine plant selection that go beyond whether a plant needs sun or shade. We will talk about specific plants, specialists and generalists, and weeds.
