Susan McDonald has spent her entire life gardening in USDA Hardiness Zone 7, the last 20 years in Huntsville. For the last 12 years she has volunteered weekly in the Fern Glade of the Huntsville Botanical Garden and has served as the manager of the Fern Glade since 2018. The Glade covers almost an acre. It has over 80 different species of ferns growing within its borders, including about ten native Alabama ferns. She will talk about important characteristics of ferns, how to grow them in North Alabama, and which native ferns do well in home gardens.
