The Narberth Area Garden Club invites you to the first program of the year:

Great Ways to Use Ornamental Grasses in the Garden

Harriet Cramer, one of our most popular speakers, joins us again to explore how you can successfully integrate ornamental grasses into your garden. Grasses can be magical, revealing the power of light, movement and sound as important (and often overlooked) design elements. Many are an important source of food and cover for birds and small mammals. We’ll discuss which grasses work best in different environments (e.g. sun, shade, wet, dry, large and small spaces), which cultivars you should seek out, which grasses are invasive and should be avoided, and which ones provide year round interest.

Please join us for this exciting program on Thursday, January 4, 2018 at 7:15 p.m. at the Narberth Municipal Building, 100 Conway Avenue, Narberth, Pa., 19072 (Haverford Ave. entrance). Free to members, $5 for visitors.
