The presentation included trees, shrubs and perennial natives that are great choices for our gardens and are good food or habitat plants for birds and butterflies.  Sue reminded us to plants for all seasons and to plant perennials in drifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our very special Chilton County Extension Adminstrative Assistant, Elaine Densmore, is set to retire at the end if this month. We managed to surprise Elaine with a gift card from all of us.
