Successful Gardener - November 5th 2026 @ 7 PM
Join us for a FREE presentation:
Garden with ALL Your Senses
Step back and discover tried and true techniques and gardener characteristics that focus on what we have available: our five senses. Smell, taste, listen, observe, and feel in the garden and then learn to employ your “sixth sense” to really connect with the spaces we love. Understanding gardening and achieving success was possible long before the internet and apps, but how? Armchair gardeners often give up after a few less than perfect seasons but a long-view approach to gardening becomes a way of life. Our speaker, David Blackley of Renfrow Hardware, will show you how to immerse yourself in your garden and landscape using all your senses and then use your sixth sense to tap into your intuition and become aware of the inexplicable while you dream, plan and record your experiences.
David Blackley is a native of North Carolina and more specifically, he grew up in Matthews. After earning a degree in engineering from North Carolina State University, David began his long and continuing career with Renfrow Hardware, becoming the owner of this well-known establishment. Today, Renfrow Hardware is a hardware store with a focus on farming and gardening supplies including a very extensive seed collection. With more than 40 years of farming and gardening experience David brings experience, knowledge, and resources to gardeners of all interests and experience levels.
