Rhododendrons 101

Description

Grow Your Rhododendron Knowledge 
Meerkerk Gardens is offering two classes this month to grow your rhododendron knowledge and prepare your garden for spring. 
Susie Reynolds, former longtime Meerkerk employee and current president of the Whidbey Island Chapter of the American Rhododendron Society, will be teaching both classes on Saturday, February 25, at the Meerkerk house in Greenbank. Learn about the basic care and needs of rhododendrons, as well as some history, during the "Rhododendrons 101" class at 10 a.m. Or sign up for “Preparing Your Rhododendrons and Garden for Spring,” at 1 p.m. In the afternoon class, you’ll get tips on general rhody and woodland garden care including fertilizing, tidying up the garden and transporting plants. 
 
The classes mark the start of Meerkerk’s 2023 Master Class Series. The cost for each class is $10. Reserve a spot in one of these classes, or both, by emailing classes@meerkerkgardens.org. Space is limited. 
Meerkerk Gardens is a 53-acre nonprofit garden and woodland preserve open to the public seven days a week. The Gardens are located at 3531 Meerkerk Lane in Greenbank. For more information, go to www.meerkerkgardens.org or call 360-678-1912.
