$50George Weigel, noted author and columnist, will discuss Pennsylvania’s unique gardening demands at a luncheon in Uniontown
Pennsylvania gardening should not be undertaken by wimps. So says plant expert George Weigel. Here is your chance to get the inside scoop from George on what works – and what doesn’t – in our unique corner of the world. The Penn State Master Gardeners of Fayette County are hosting him for a fun and informative two-part talk and luncheon.
George is a garden writer, garden speaker, garden-travel leader and horticulturist with a special focus on Pennsylvania. He is the garden writer for The Patriot-News, Harrisburg’s newspaper, since 1993. George’s articles also have appeared in such magazines as Horticulture; People, Places and Plants; Green Scene; Pennsylvania Gardener and Central Pa. Magazine.
George is the author of two books published by Cool Springs Press, Pennsylvania Getting Started Gardening Guide and Pennsylvania Month-by-Month Gardening.
You can hear George speak at the Spring Garden Affair, hosted by the Penn State Master Gardeners of Fayette County on Saturday, March 21, at the elegant Grayson House, 157 Riggin Hill Road in Uniontown. Following a catered lunch, the author will share fun photos and remarks on his greatest landscaping failures. Afterward, join him for conversation and a book signing, all while enjoying the stunning views of the Laurel Mountains.
Cost for the talk and lunch is $50. Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. Reserve your spot by visiting extension.psu.edu/spring-garden-affair. For more information, please call Penn State Extension – Fayette County at 724-812-0769, or email Ellen Ulmer at evu5022@psu.edu.
