Thank you for your responses Mark and Marcy. I guess I need to decide if I want the plant as an annual or try for an indoor perennial - out of reach of animal and human!

Laura, I had a similar one, used as an outdoor annual.  No problems when planting or trimming.

Hello! My husband purchased this indoor plant (according to my info it is a Euphorbia Hypericifolia (Graceful Spurge) and its hardiness zones are 10-11. It also indicates that its sap and seeds are highly toxic and you should wear gloves when handling it.) Is anyone familiar with this plant? Is it as dangerous as it sounds? Any other precautions I need to take? Thank you for your help!

I've tried to find the details of the tour of two gardens June 16, 2018. And failed. Can't navigate this site. Suggestions?

Here's a link to Ch. 8 coverage of the Kenwood Community Garden.  There was an on-air piece, but this photo is all that's left online:

Here's a feel-good story to brighten your day.  Members of the SouthWest Garden Group, John McMahon from our NSC office, Lowes, Kenwood Avenue residents, and kids from School 29 worked together over the summer to create this little oasis on what was an empty lot.

I'm sorry I can't attend this year (a new job has me scrambling to rearrange my schedule) - don't miss this opportunity to see a really unusual beautiful garden in the heart of Rochester! You'll be pleasantly surprised and perhaps a little jealous!

No need to RSVP, though I am glad to hear that a few will be coming! Looking forward to seeing everyone!
