The Vilas County Master Gardeners are offering a free vertical gardening workshop to the public Tuesday, Feb. 12, at 7 p.m. at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, 5030 Hwy 70. Eagle River. Vertical gardening is more that growing wisteria on an elaborate arbor or hanging baskets of petunias from the eaves. It adds a whole new dimension to the landscape.

Katie Bevernitz, a graduate from Stevens Point with a degree in urban forestry, is a landscape designer and the new garden center manager at Custom Landscape. Katie will be sharing her expertise for plant choice and design on how to create a vertical garden. For more information, contact Bill at (715)891-5084.
