Perennial plants fill in garden spaces with color, interesting textures and a display that changes throughout the year. There are so many to choose from it can be a little daunting to decide which ones to invest in! Knowing more about perennials will help you know which plants might thrive in your garden, when they bloom, how many seasons of interest they provide, and how to group them to compliment the design of your garden. Whether you are just starting to discover wonderful cultivars or you want to fill in around your existing favorites, please consider joining us for a day of learning about a great group of plants!
Not just another garden tour, the Gardening with Native Plants – The Tour is a great opportunity to learn how to make your yard more environmentally friendly.
