GOSHEN — The Elkhart County Master Gardener Class will be offering three programs on perennials this winter. The focus of the program will be how to add perennial plants to the landscape in various conditions like sun or shade. There will also be information on the use of perennials to add color to the landscape, and how to identify some of the key insects found around perennial beds.
