SUMMARY:“House Plants and Their Personalities” presented by Nancy Ballek Mackinnon of Ballek’s Garden Center
LOCATION:27 Adams St S, Manchester, CT 06040
DESCRIPTION:Houseplants have personalities of their own and understanding what makes each one happy can make all the difference in helping them thrive. Join Nancy Ballek MacKinnon of Ballek’s Garden Center for an engaging look at a variety of houseplants and their individual growing needs.\n\n\n\nNancy will share practical advice for selecting and caring for houseplants, including considerations such as light, watering, placement, and general maintenance. Learn why some plants are easygoing while others require a little more attention, and gain the confidence to choose plants that are well suited to the conditions in your own home.\n\n\n\nWhether you’re a longtime houseplant enthusiast or just beginning to bring a little more green indoors, you’ll come away with useful tips and a better understanding of the plants that share our living spaces.\n\n\n\nAs a partner and owner of Ballek’s Garden Center in East Haddam, Connecticut, Nancy has devoted much of her career to helping gardeners better understand plants, gardening practices, and the natural world.  A graduate of the University of Connecticut, Nancy earned her degree in Environmental Horticulture and Landscape Design in 1978, graduating summa cum laude.\n\n\n\nThroughout her career, Nancy has become known not only for her extensive horticultural knowledge but also for her ability to share that knowledge with gardeners of all experience levels. Her presentations have covered a wide range of topics, including native plants, pollinators, sustainable gardening, houseplants, garden design, new plant varieties, and edible gardening. Nancy is also the author of The Gardener's Book of Charts, Tables & Lists: A Complete Gardening Guide, a practical reference created to help gardeners make informed decisions about selecting, growing, and caring for plants.
