Learn about the many kinds of trees and shrubs available, how to plant, prune and care for them and some of the pests and diseases that attack them. Discover how landscaping can make your yard more private or your entrance more inviting. See how planning can make plants work for you to provide a cool spot for relaxing, a grassy area for playing or a colorful area for your enjoy­ ment. With fellow 4-H members, you will learn how to create a landscape design and how to choose the plants to go in it.
