Put
the RIGHT PLANT in the RIGHT PLACE
Do you have plants that dwindle in the shade? Are your plants
burning in the sun?
From
mid-April through May, Swanson’s is teaming up with the
Saving Water Partnership to help you select the right
plants that will thrive naturally in dry sun and dry
shade (right place). Look for our signs, plant displays
and factsheets. By making the right choices, your plants
will flourish without excessive watering, pesticides
and fertilizers. Ask our staff for plant ideas if you
have other types of sun, shade and soil conditions.
