🌳 Do you want to plant more trees, but are feeling a little overwhelmed on where to start? Join us and Possibility Place Nursery for the next Green Thumb Saturday on July 12 at 9:30 am at Homewood Village Hall.
Tristan Shaw of Possibility Place Nursery will share all his tree planting tips, from species selection to post-planting care. Tristan will also cover the effectiveness of shrub borders as privacy and wind screens and also as habitat powerhouses.
Tristan is the co-owner and Nursery Manager at Possibility Place. A true champion of native plants, he has spent the past 27 years managing PPN and inventing new systems to produce native plants. He is passionate about making native plants more accessible to all.
