Growing Mountain Laurels

Felicia Millet, a plant diagnostician with the Department of Plant Pathology and Ecology at The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, will be onsite at Essex Library to present “Growing Mountain Laurels in Connecticut.”

Mountain Laurel was named the state flower of Connecticut in 1907 and has continued to captivate residents ever since. This presentation will include a discussion of the history of these native plants, cultivar descriptions, tips on planting, as well as which pests and diseases to look out for. This program is made possible through a collaboration of Essex Library and the Essex Land Trust.

This program is FREE and open to ALL at 33 West Avenue, Essex, CT. Registration is required. Register online at www.youressexlibrary.org or by calling the library at 860-767-1560.
