All About Ferns with Judith Jones

“The many evergreen and semi-evergreen ferns are mainstays in our gardens throughout the year. However, there are many deciduous ferns that have spectacular color as spring arrives. Judith reminds us that autumn is an ideal time for planting. Not only does rain return to the Northwest, but it is still possible to see where additional plants are needed after a long summer drought. Judith will bring a variety of ferns from her nursery for sale.”
