Event Details
Mystery author, Neal Sanders presents his program, Gardening Is Murder, a ‘husband’s point of view’ of gardening. It is filled with humor and insight from someone who gardens less from an abiding love of horticulture than for the love of a spouse. Good horticultural advice is dispensed, bad advice is debunked. Some of what you'll learn:
- Why it is impossible to do just one thing in the garden;
- Why so much gardening information on the internet is awful;
- Why you should never compute the value of your labor in gardening;
- Evidence that the wildlife in your garden have never seen a Disney film;
- Why it requires digging three holes to plant something;
- And much more...
