FRIDAY MARCH 26 “Developing a Native Garden” with Linda Rieger, Master Gardener." Do you have a very small garden, or do you have an acre? This presentation will show you how you can develop a native garden no matter how big your space. Do you have a deer problem? The presentation will identify some plants and tips to help keep those hungry critters at bay. Do you want a pretty garden no matter what the season? This presentation will identify plants that will bloom in winter and others that will bloom throughout the year.  

Linda Rieger has been a Master Gardener since 2016 and has worked mostly in the Conservation area at the Demonstration Garden of the University of Maryland. She also provided STEM activities to the teachers and children who come to the C & O Canal on fieldtrips. Linda’s volunteer activities including being a Master Gardener of the Extension Services of the University of Maryland shows her commitment to native plants. She is on the action committee of the Sierra Club MD Conservation Council, is on the board of the Montgomery County garden Clubs and participates in The Wild Ones of the Chesapeake.  Linda Rieger has a master’s degree from Purdue University and worked on her Ph.D. in Educational Psychology at Stanford University. After being an Adjunct Professor at American University, Linda changed her career and worked in Sales and Marketing for 25 years, much of that in graphics and presentations.
