presented by Windham Garden Club
Nichole Keyes, Greenhouse Manager at Lake Street Garden Center, is returning once again to share her vast expertise with Windham Garden Club members and guests. Nichole’s visit and presentation last year on indoor house plants was a club member’s favorite. She specializes in house plants and is especially enthusiastic about holiday cacti and will talk about the differences between Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas cactus. She will also discuss what special care our houseplants need during the winter months.
Nichole has worked at the Garden Center for the past two decades working her way from the cash register up to managing the entire retail greenhouse department, discovering her passion for plants in the process. She is certified in ornamental landscape through UMass Extensions Green School program, has attended multiple classes offered by UNH cooperative extension on integrated pest management and insect identification, has been featured in New Hampshire Home Magazine teaching the how to’s of terrarium building, and has over 10 years of hands-on experience selecting and caring for hundreds of species of indoor foliage, tropical shrubs, orchids, flowering annuals, and vegetables. As well as caring for her prized collection of 80+ houseplants as home. She works one on one, every day, with the public to teach the best practices for growing healthy and happy plants. Nichole is a local plant expert, with accessible knowledge to help you grow that green thumb!
