Winter is the BEST time for learning more about good gardening practices because that's when the public gardens are busy teaching. Check these out:
GREEN SPRINGS GARDEN, NO. VA.
Green Springs is known for their excellent programs; whole carloads have been known to schlep down from Maryland to partake. Here's the link.
BROOKSIDE GARDEN IN WHEATON, MD
Their "Green Matters" symposiums are great, and this year it's about water issues. Check it out - as well as their whole catalog of courses and workshops in the right sidebar.
LEWIS GINTER BOTANIC GARDEN IN RICHMOND, VA
Coming up Feb 4-6 is an awesome-looking and reasonably priced symposium on Gardening in the Age of Global Warming. Here's the agenda for that, and here's the schedule for a whole YEAR of great stuff (to celebrate their 25th anniversary).
KNOW OF OTHERS? Leave a comment and I'll add it to this list.
