Flowers for Every Month (In-Person Event)

The garden also shows us that, to every season, there is a flower or bloom that marks the season. As we come into a new year it is appropriate and thrilling to anticipate, and then see, what bloom each month brings. Snowdrops herald the coming of spring and bulbs; wildflowers also put on a spring display; summer sees other flowers and all kinds of blooming plants while Fall is the time for Asters, Dahlia’s not to mention beautiful fall foliage. Christmas arrives with poinsettias, holly and mistletoe! In this one hour illustrated presentation we will look at flowers, plants and trees from every month … just what we need to get us ready for spring and thus see us through another year!
