Gardening Unplugged!

Helleborus x lemerii blooming in the garden.Free Garden Chat Series 

During each day of our Open Nursery & Garden Days, we offer a free garden chat as part of our educational outreach, "Gardening Unplugged". These are 15-20 minute discussions walking through the gardens, focusing on seasonally prominent topics, plants and garden design ideas. Join Tony and our expert horticultural staff as we explore all that nature has to offer. View our previous Gardening Unplugged videos on our YouTube page.
Meet at the Welcome Tent near the parking lot to join us!
