Master Gardeners sponsor gardening program March 3

The Wyandotte County Extension Master Gardeners are sponsoring “Colorful Shade Gardening: Beyond Hostas,” from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday, March 3.

Rob Mortko, known as “the hosta guy,” and owner of Made in the Shade Gardens in Olathe, Kan., will be sharing his expertise, as he discusses the many options to create balance and diversity in the shady landscape.

He’ll cover the different degrees of shade as well as the seemingly endless number of plants which are ideally suited for the shade.

The class will be held in the Sunflower Room at the Wyandotte County Extension Office, 1208 N, 79th St., Kansas City, Kan., 913-299-9300. Fee: $5, payable at the door. Registration is not required.
