Fall Planting Demonstration
10:00 – 11:00 AM
Steve Wright, Director of Horticulture/Curator of Plant Collections, Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens
Fall is a great time for planting, when the heat of summer has passed but there is still time for newly-planted roots to establish before heaving frosts begin. You can think of late-season planting as a head start on the next year. An indoor “how-to” presentation will be followed by an outdoor demonstration of proper planting techniques. You will learn everything you need to know to ensure the survival of your fall plantings.
