Burtt, who is a Clemson University Cooperative Extension Area Horticulture Agent, will discuss Lowcountry gardening spring bloomers and colorful plants for the summer heat to brighten a gardener’s landscape! He has worked with Clemson University for over five years with previous experience in nursery and landscaping. He coordinates the Tri-County Master Gardener program and assists homeowners and nurseries with technical support.
“Summer is often the time of year when the garden may look the dullest. Many of our favorite spring bloomers have finished and the stress of the heat is upon us,” Burtt said. “But there are plenty of summer blooms to incorporate into the landscape to provide that much needed touch of color in the garden.”
