Horticulture Classes

Calendar of Upcoming Gardening Classes

   

Each month, the general public is invited to attend a class on a topic of interest to gardeners.  The first installment, February 28, 2006, featured do-it-yourself landscape design.  Instructors Dava Hayden (below left), McCracken County Horticulture Agent, and Les Evans (below right) with the City of Paducah, paired up to explore good examples of landscape design and general principles of plant selection and installation.  Since getting started can be one of the most daunting aspects of any project, the 24 students drew a simple house plan on graph paper and then used tracing paper as an overlay to identify outdoor living areas like a play spot for children, a vegetable garden, an orchard and a dog run.

Other topics have included rose selection, tomatoes, and lawn care and maintenance.
