  • Mar 26 Ferns of the Southeast (Zoom) 350 million years ago, these feathery fronds were born. Still loved today, gardeners plant them in garden beds, pots, and wooded areas. Any hike through a forest will showcase these ancient survivors. Without seed formation, these primitive plants rely on spores for reproduction. North Fulton Master Gardener Extension Volunteer Donna Whitesel will share all about ferns and how to grow them in this class. This series of five classes will begin Sunday, March 5, 2023, and will be available through live Zoom webinars and Facebook Live. The classes will be available for later viewing at https://www.youtube.com/northfultonmastergardeners.
