Topic: Dream, Garden, Grow: Musings of a Lifetime Gardener!

 

The presenter will take you through the real life experiences of a gardener, who believes gardening is in her genes! Follow along as Lee Miller presents the paths she took as a gardener since the age of five and how her passion grew over time starting with a dream, leading to the reality of developing a garden, then growing along with the garden over time. Topics discussed will include landscape design principles, planting and maintaining a garden, along with dealing with the changing garden. One aspect of the changing garden has been the increase in the deer population over the years on the island; therefore, design of a “deer resistant” garden will also be discussed.
