Free gardening seminar at Hicks Nurseries

Winter is a time to dream about and plan the colorful garden you will have this summer.

Although impatiens have long been a go-to plant for gardeners, there are many other beautiful annuals that can be used. Join Nate Jackson, Greengoods/Garden Center Manager at Hicks Nurseries on Saturday January 19 at 1 pm, for a look into Hicks Nurseries’ expanded selection for 2013. Learn about the many annual varieties, colors, sizes and combinations the nursery will carry as well as why impatiens are no longer the best go-to choice for your garden. Free.
