While flowers are beautiful\, they also require deadheading\, fertilizing\, and more deadheading. What if you could enjoy the benefits of flowers without all the maintenance? Join us as Deborah explains the appeal of “all foliage” combinations. From the basic of foliage to design ideas to great plant picks. \nDeborah\, owner of The Captured Garden\, is an award-winning container gardener whose work has been featured in The Boston Globe\, Garden Gate magazine\, New England Home magazine and on the TV show New England Dream Home. She is a Massachusetts Certified Horticulturist and a frequent lecturer on container gardening at the Boston Flower and Garden Show\, as well as the Philadelphia International Flower Show. She also teaches classes and workshops at the Arnold Arboretum in Boston. \nThe Captured Garden has worked throughout New England creating container gardens\, and designing gardens for clients who want their homes to be beautiful\, not typical. By using customer designs that showcase uncommon plants they create combinations for their clients that are anything but cookie cutter. Their goal when the project is completed\, is to hear “It’s perfect\, it’s just what I wanted\,” followed quickly by “What is that beautiful plant\, I’ve never seen anything like it.” URL:https://needhamlocal.org/event/look-ma-no-flowers/ LOCATION:Needham Public Library Community Room\, 1139 Highland Avenue\, Needham\, MA\, 02494\, United States CATEGORIES:Climate and Sustainability,Community Event,Needham Public Library ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://needhamlocal.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/April-Garden-Club.png ORGANIZER;CN="Needham Garden Club":MAILTO:sbcondon@aol.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250410T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250410T200000 DTSTAMP:20260408T122600 CREATED:20250317T200608Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250317T200608Z UID:10001475-1744309800-1744315200@needhamlocal.org SUMMARY:After the Midnight Ride...
