Tired of looking out a winter window and seeing a sleeping garden?  Winter can be long for gardeners, but this season does have its rewards.  Many shrubs have fantastic blossoms or berries that make the season sparkle.  Join local plant enthusiast Randy Kobetich as he introduces you to the world of Witch Hazels.  This low maintenance shrub will add a wonderful burst of bright yellow, orange or red flowers to your winter landscape.  The color and fragrance alone will make your garden walk worth the chill in the air! Pre-registration is required. 

Witch Hazels: The Prince of Winter is the fourth of five lectures in the Help for the Home Gardener Series. Every Wednesday in February, find inspiration and expert advice to make your home environment more attractive and your gardening experience more enjoyable. Light refreshments will be served.
