Mighty-Mite Shrubs that Outshine Perennials: Zoom with Kerry Mendez

The ever-popular author and garden expert, Kerry Ann Mendez, is joining us again on Zoom to talk about gardening!  Join us as she shares how her outlook on flower gardening has evolved over the decades. In addition to practicing the latest earth-friendly practices and incorporating more natives, Kerry has shifted her focus from perennials to shrubs that provide months of radiant color but require far less maintenance. This eye-opening lecture, from the renowned speaker and owner of Perennially Yours, focuses on remarkable shrubs for front to mid-border gardens, as well as their pruning requirements. These stunning beauties also are ideal for over-wintering in containers.

Your presenter is Kerry Ann Mendez, an award-winning garden educator, author, design consultant and proprietor of Perennially Yours, now based in southern Maine.  Previously, Kerry Ann lived in Ballston Spa and delivered more than a dozen gardening lectures at GPL.  As an exceptionally popular educator and communicator, she has presented hundreds of lectures to thousands of gardeners in 23 states.
