April 17, 2018 Monthly Meeting

THE APRIL MEETING is at the Wakeman Center.
The program begins at 1pm.

Program: Not So Secret Secrets to Beautiful Window Boxes and Pots 
With Renee Clermont, Owner, Second Nature Designs

ABOUT THE PROGRAM FOR APRIL:
   Designing gardens in a miniature scale: that's the brilliant appeal of container plantings.  But where do you start?  There are some things to consider when planning your miniature gardens, like types and sizes of containers, plant selection, combinations and sun requirements.  But, most important of all:  just how much time and money are you willing to invest in the finished product? 
This presentation will provide you with great tips for designing window boxes, planters and pots for the upcoming season.

ABOUT RENEE CLERMONT:
   Renee Clermont started her business, Second Nature Designs, in 2003 with the intent of doing small gardens and containers. Every year the gardens became larger and larger! So, three years later she decided to put herself through four years of schooling (trucking back and forth from the Vineyard to Boston!) to become a Certified Landscape Designer. She was enthralled with all the textures and shapes available using trees and shrubs, intertwined with hardscaping, and figured the garden ties into the whole landscape, so why not design it all! In 2012 she became a Dual Certified Landscape Designer by The Landscape Institute of Harvard University and Boston Architectural College.
