Acclaimed writer and popular radio host Ken Druse will be the featured speaker at the May meeting of the Maplewood Garden Club on Monday, May 4, at 7:30 p.m. at Maplewood Memorial Library on Baker Street.
Druse hosts the podcast “Real Dirt,” and is the award-winning author of 18 publications that The New York Times has called “bibles for serious gardeners.” He will speak about “Natural Companions,” colorful companion plantings that add interest, form, and texture to the home garden. His presentation will include ideas for perfect combinations that look great together and bloom at the same time.
Druse is a nationally known garden expert and has won a lifetime award from the Garden Club of America for communicating about gardening and the environment. He will also be signing books. Three titles, Natural Companions, Making More Plants, and his brand-new release, The New Shade Garden, will be available for sale.
The public is welcome to the meeting, and light refreshments will be served. For information on the Maplewood Garden Club, visit maplewoodgardenclub.org.
