The Town & Country Garden Club of Newtown will host a discussion with Jeffrey “Jeff the Plant Guy” Eleveld on Wednesday, November 13, at 7 pm, at Newtown Senior Center, 8 Simpson Street.

Eleveld will speak about the history and care for the three most popular plants most people “love to kill” during the holidays. He will take questions, all the while sharing his depth of knowledge and insight.

The visual imagery will keep guests engaged. He’s funny historic, sometimes dramatic, and otherwise quite entertaining.

Eleveld will put his unique perspective on whatever plant he talks about. Eleveld will take attendees on a journey from the humble beginnings to the present.

Those with questions about a specific plant are invited to bring a picture, leaf, cutting or the whole plant, for an assessment by Jeff the Plant Guy for identification and/or bug eradication. A plant and cuttings swap will also be part of the evening.

Garden club members remind readers: Remember it’s cold outside, so wrap plants or cuttings so they stay warm on the way to and from home.

The program is free and all are welcome. For additional information send email to hilljo107@gmail.com.
