Are you wondering what to do with your lawn in the midst of drought and watering restrictions? Should you fertilize and aerate? Should you replace your flowerbed with a xeriscape garden? And, what is a xeriscape garden anyway? Would you like to know what causes the spots on the leaves of your trees? What should you do with trees damaged during the March blizzard? Answers to these and other horticulture questions will be forthcoming from Broomfield�s first class of Master Gardeners.

Answers to many frequently asked gardening and landscape questions are also available by calling Planttalk Colorado� at 1-888-666-3063 or visiting www.planttalk.org. Planttalk is sponsored by Colorado State University Cooperative Extension, Denver Botanic gardens, and the Green Industries of Colorado.
