Topic: Megan Grimaldi will discuss how and why to renovate a garden
Speaker: Megan Grimaldi has loved plants and nature all her life which led to her to study horticulture and build a career exploring her passion. Megan has worked in the green industry for twenty years including retail garden centers, wholesale nurseries and creating a business of fine gardening in Charlotte, NC, where she also served on the board of the Carolinas Green Industry Network. Since moving to Nashville, TN two years ago, she has deepened her knowledge of native plants and began to transform a 3-acre plot that she shares with her husband in Fairview TN.
In this program, we will discuss how and why to renovate a garden. Whether just one flower bed or reconsidering the whole landscape, Megan will present a series of questions and thought processes that should be considered, whether you are going this route alone or with a professional designer. She will use examples from her own work and professional landscape design concepts to help you create a beautiful new space in your garden.
