Gardening Resources and Events
As gardeners and folks who peruse social media we find lots of informative articles and ideas. As a club that promotes gardening, we think it is important to share what we find with our audience. To that end, below you will find links and/or articles that may be of interest to you. Note that the Geneva Garden Club does not endorse any one company over another but believe that many offer information that could be of use to you in your gardening endeavors.
If there’s still green in your woods … you might want to get rid of it! This time of year, buckthorn is likely the only plant that still has green leaves, making it easy to ID and remove. Unfortunately, this invasive shrub prevents native trees and shrubs from growing. This quick video from a DNR Forester shows you how to identify this non-native species. For more information on what you can do to get rid of it, visit https://www.facebook.com/share/v/187KG537Bc/
