A Holocaust survivor will speak at Chestnut Hill College, and Morris Arboretum will host a gardening workshop.
Here's what's going on around town on Thursday.
Creating a Woodland Garden: Taught by Eva Monheim, Horticulture Instructor, Temple University
Learn how to transform an area of your landscape into a woodland oasis. If you already have a grove of trees or are thinking of planting one, this presentation will help you make the proper selection of trees, shrubs, perennials, and annuals. Eva will discuss the process involved in woodland gardening from garden planning to soil preparation, planting, and ongoing care. Her step-by-step process is something you can integrate at your own pace. Learn what to plant to provide year-round interest from early-blooming bulbs to shrubs with colorful berries in fall and winter. You will learn how to attract wildlife too!
