University of Georgia
The University of Georgia will have a hands-on workshop Aug. 4
on
its Griffin, Ga., campus to help landscape professionals learn
to
identify more than 30 trees, shrubs and woody vines commonly
used
in landscapes.
Landscapers preparing for the professional certification exam
will find the workshop particularly helpful. Combining classroom
lessons with up-close study of the plants outdoors will help the
plant identifications sink in.
A $25 fee covers handouts, lunch, refreshments and instruction
by
UGA faculty. Dress for summer heat, humidity and possible
showers.
Registration begins at 8 a.m. at the Stuckey Auditorium. The
workshop begins at 8:30 and ends at 3 p.m.
To sign up or learn more about the program, call (770) 228-7243
