Boredom Busters for Adults...
- Learn and contribute in Denver's EcoFlora Project - Launched in 2020, the Denver EcoFlora Project has two main goals. First, to meaningfully engage citizens in observing, protecting and preserving the metro area’s native plant species and second, to assemble novel observations and data on the metro area’s flora to better inform policy decisions concerning land management and conservation strategies. Anyone can participate in the Denver EcoFlora Project – all you need is access to a smartphone and a few minutes to spend learning the citizen science application iNaturalist.
- Keep those woody plants growing strong in 2021 with the MSU Extension Online Pruning Class - Pruning is an important cultural practice used to maintain health, safety, vigor and appearance of woody plants. It involves both art and science – art, in shaping plants in harmony with their growth habit to enhance the landscape, and science, in knowing how, when, where and why to prune for maximum benefit. Presented by Michigan State University Extension click for more information.

Garden Corner: Lighting for Indoor Plants
 The light in most homes often is not bright enough to grow house-plants properly. Yet some houseplants thrive in low light if they are kept out of dark corners. Aluminum plants, pepperomia, ferns, palms, snake plant and some philodendrons can survive in low-light areas. Most houseplants need additional light to survive over a long period of time in the average home. Older plants shed or lose a large number of their leaves when sufficient light is not provided. New leaves that develop under low light conditions are usually smaller and thinner than leaves growing in normal light, but are acclimated to low light conditions.
