HARRINGTON PARK, N.J.—The Garden Club of Harrington Park is delighted to welcome back guest speaker Marc E. Zukovich at their next meeting, Thursday, Oct. 3 at 7:30 p.m., upstairs in the Harrington Park Library, 10 Herring St., Harrington Park.
Previously Marc has wowed the Garden Club with programs on “Gardening with Deer,” “How to Design a Mixed Border,” and “Exceptional Fall Trees and Shrubbery.”
At this upcoming meeting, Zukovich’s topic will be “The Winter Border,” showing how to create a delightful garden that will liven up a dreary winter landscape and discussing how to protect your plants from harsh winter conditions. His slide presentation will exhibit plants that are of both winter and multiple season interest.
Zukovich has taught classes in horticulture since 1989 as an adjunct professor at County College of Morris, where he was recognized with the NISOD national award for teaching excellence. He currently teaches community courses for the Adult School of the Chathams, Madison and Florham Park and lectures for garden clubs and library programs throughout northern New Jersey.
Zukovich holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Botany from Drew University and certificates from Harvard Graduate School of Design and the New York Botanical Garden. Before founding Sterling Horticultural Services in 1988, Zukovich was a district manager for Brickman Industries. Prior to that, he managed a 38-acre private estate in Alpine, NJ. From 1988 to 2012, Zukovich managed the grounds of Honeywell Inc.’s World Headquarters, formerly AlliedSignal, in Morristown, and has provided exceptional landscape care to residential properties.
Zukovich also provides a garden coaching and landscape consultation service to homeowners and contractors.
The program will be followed by a question-and-answer session and refreshments provided by the evening’s hostess, Gerri Gibney.
