“Native Shrubs for a Door County Landscapes” featuring Jason Feldman on Tuesday, February 25, 6:30 pm at Collins Learning Center, Crossroads, 2041 Michigan, Sturgeon Bay. Free and Open to the Public.
Sturgeon Bay, Wis. (February 21, 2025) – Shrubs are an essential part of every garden’s ecosystem. They provide shade, improve soil stability, enhance air quality, and create habitats for all types of wildlife. Certain shrubs can be used to create natural barriers or screens. Of course, shrubs are also beautiful to look at, especially when you choose varieties that add seasonal interest to your landscape.
Jason Feldman of Jason Feldman Landscapes will recommend shrubs that help pollinators and birds and also thrive in the various soil types in Door County. He will also offer suggestions about pruning native shrubs. Following his presentation, Jason will answer questions. Refreshments will be provided. Meet at the Collins Learning Center. Sponsored by Door County Master Gardeners (DCMG) and Wild Ones – Door Peninsula Chapter and Crossroads at Big Creek.
