(Natalie Carmolli; keynote speaker, proven winners rep.)
Creating a private escape in your own backyard has become a sought-after remedy to the chaos of the outside world. The key is designing a garden that works for you, instead of the other way around!
In this fun and informative program, you’ll learn just how easy it is to create a relaxing garden spot using low-maintenance shrubs and companion plants.
The program incorporates small, garden-friendly cultivars, including a sneak peek of some new Proven Winners® ColorChoice® hydrangeas and roses.

You’ll leave with ideas and inspiration to help you build your own backyard oasis or create peaceful pockets in your already established garden spaces.
