Join us for a look at how you should choose the best plant to buy when visiting a nursery. Whether you shop at a retail nursery or work with wholesalers, choosing your exact plants from among the multitude available still takes a bit of discernment.
Botanical names can stump even the most seasoned horticulturists. With a focus on dry garden plants, students will learn about the etymology and proper pronunciation of botanical names.
Learn about the regions of the world that are considered dry, such as cold and hot deserts and arid grasslands. For each region, we will examine the climate, geography, and characteristic vegetation.
We invite you to join us for an evening of relaxation and rejuvenation, as you allow the healing power of sound to wash over you and bring you into a state of inner peace.
Learn about plant morphology, anatomy, physiology, and ecology that allow dry climate plants to acquire and conserve water, protect themselves from extreme heat and light radiation, avoid herbivory, and reproduce successfully.
Come dressed up (dogs too) and spend Halloween at the Garden! Visitors who come dressed up will receive a Nursery coupon and Martina, our resident artist, made a special Garden bingo to celebrate the day.
