Webinar: Garden Myths, with Robert Pavlis
January 26, 2021 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Robert Pavlis will present a number of gardening myths, including myths about planting trees, natural pesticides are safe, hostas don’t grow in sun, and weed barriers prevent weeds from growing. The topics will use plenty of pictures showing gardens and flowers to keep everyone interested.

He is the author of several books, Building Natural Ponds, Soil Science for Gardeners and Garden Myths, and publishes the popular gardening blogs GardenMyths.com and GardenFundamentals.com.
