Cleo will use photos to show how you can combine perennials, shrubs and small trees for garden color throughout the year. We will visit garden areas in multiple seasons to show how plants have different impact depending on the season. If you have heard her ‘Perennials for Year-Round Color’ or ’Shrubs that Grow Well in our Gardens’ talks, this is a chance to see how some of those plants actually look in a garden setting.

Cleo Raulerson has gardened, focusing on perennials and flowering shrubs, for more than 40 years. Her garden has over 750 varieties of flowering plants and the garden has been on the NPA (Northwest Perennial Alliance) Open Garden Tour for many years. Cleo served on the Bellevue Botanical Garden Society Board of Directors and is a King County Master Gardener.
