CLEMSON — Because the more you know, the more you grow, local and regional experts will share their passion for gardening in a fun and educational day-long gardening school.

The Carolina Yards program is based on 12 key principles that help home gardeners create a low maintenance and beautiful landscape that works with nature and protects natural resources.

The workshop will focus on fertilizing and managing pests responsibly. Set for 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Sept. 6 at the S.C. Botanical Garden, the cost for the event is $60 and includes lunch, a Carolina Yards manual and soil test.
