One of the activities I enjoy most as a Master Gardener volunteer is the annual Colorado Garden and Home Show.  Every year, the CSU Extension staff work with Master Gardeners to design the Education Garden at the show, which is designed to provide homeowners with research-based information about gardening in Colorado.  This year, I was so privileged to help design the garden with good friend, and fellow Master Gardener, Martha Kirk, under the direction of James Klett, Ph.D.  Our theme is Proven Solutions for Colorado Landscapes, and we’re covering a lot of ground with this one!  We have 6 different gardens within the space, and we will address Tree Diversity, Small Space Gardening, Emerald Ash Borer, Common Turf and Landscape Maintenance Problems, and we will feature Plant Select plants as well as winners from the CSU Annuals Trials.  There are a lot of learning opportunities packed into this 30’x50′ space.  Tomorrow, we add all the color with blooming annuals and perennials.  More to follow!
