ORONO — University of Maine Cooperative Extension is set to offer a webinar for home gardeners on selecting resilient perennials from 6-7:15 p.m. Wednesday, April 9.
Herbaceous perennials support wildlife and pollinators while adding beauty to home gardens, according to a news release from Melissa Arndt, director of marketing and communications, University of Maine Cooperative Extension. As long-term investments, perennials can also be affected by fluctuations in temperature, rainfall and snowfall.
Stephanie Burnett, professor of horticulture in the School of Food and Agriculture at the University of Maine, will discuss what to consider when selecting perennials and make recommendations for resilient Maine gardens. This webinar is the final in the four-part series Gardening for the Future.
Registration is required; sliding scale fee options are available. Register on the event webpage to attend live or receive the recording link.
