Groundcovers are low-growing plants that serve many different purposes in the landscape from limiting weed growth to stabilizing slopes to adding texture to your garden. Join our February Speaker Series as Kathy Jentz, author of the book, Groundcover Revolution, will highlight several of these beautiful, hard-working plants and their best uses.

Kathy Jentz is editor and publisher of the award-winning Washington Gardener Magazine, based in Washington, DC. She is also the editor of three plant society journals: the Water Garden Journal (IWGS), The Azalean (ASA), and Fanfare (Daylily Society Region 3). She hosts of the popular GardenDC Podcast, which was recently named Best DC Podcast.
