Event Details
Gardeners are a hardy bunch. Data reveals that they live longer! They are also healthier and happier than non-gardeners. Fresh air, sunshine and lots of exercise most likely assist with these advantages. But inevitably, as we age, there comes a time when we realize our gardens have become overwhelming. Come hear Lisa Colburn discuss how to make gardening easier, strategies for downsizing and modification, and now to create an exit strategy.
Lisa Colburn is the author of the Maine Garden Journal. She often speaks about a variety of horticultural topics. She is an enthusiastic ornamental and food gardener. Lisa spent many years living and gardening in northern Aroostook County, Maine which is considered Zone 3a. Now residing in Orono, Maine, she has transitioned to a Zone 5a garden and greatly expanded her plant palette. Lisa is now a snowbird, enjoying gardening in sub-tropical Florida for part of the year. Her gardening experiences span from Zones 3a to 10a. She is a Master Gardener in both Maine and Florida.
Lisa is the recipient of the 2017 Garden Club Federation of Maine Stella Dearborn Garden Award and the New England Garden Clubs Lisa Wagner Perennial Garden Award. Her garden was featured in Downeast Magazine in 2022. She currently edits for the Garden Club Federation of Maine.
