Starting Monday, February 20th
Beat the winter blahs by thinking about spring. Join Tri-County Literacy Council's three-week landscape training program. Learn about plants, soil preparation, garden design and so much more. Enjoy a site visit and listen to guest speakers as they share their personal experiences. Whether you join for sheer enjoyment or to seek employment, this course is meant for you.
The following is what one learner said about the program: "When I first came into this course, I didn't know much about landscaping and plants. This course helped me learn the difference between perennial and annual plants, as well as their hardiness zone. Thanks to my instructor, I have gained a lot of knowledge about how to take care of plants and flowers. I am so happy that I took this course because now I can start my journey on my new career path." - Ashley Gillespie
