Submitted by Communications and Marketing
Big pond, little pond or a patio pot. Water can be a focal point in the home garden as well as a point of interest and conversation. "Water Gardening 101" will be the next program in the 2012 Friends of the Kansas State University Gardens Luncheon Series on Thursday, June 21.
Deb Spencer from Water's Edge, a water gardening retailer in Lawrence, will speak at the home of Steve and Lori Levin, 11720 Landscape Lane, St. George. The public seminar starts at 11:45 a.m. and concludes at 1 p.m. The event will include a tour of the Levins' water garden.
Admission is $30 per person or $25 for members of the Friends of the Kansas State University Gardens. This includes lunch and beverage. Net proceeds benefit the university gardens.
"Deb will show how easy it is to create a dynamic aquatic element in any size garden," said Lori Levin, coordinator of the seminar series.
