Sara Stopek , our peppy staff gardener, will be presenting a few lectures this spring at the New York Botanical Garden. If you've never thought about taking a class, this is an ideal time to reconsider; these classes are perfectly formatted for amateur enthusiasts. And by no means is a trip to the beautiful Enid A. Haupt conservatory an unwelcome diversion. So plan a weekend gardening excursion to shake off winter melancholy with a knowledge expanding class and an inspirational greenhouse color treatment.

Native Perennials
Discover the natives that flourish in our area (ferns, grasses, and of course flowering plants) with or without a gardener’s care! These beautiful, easy-care plants provide texture, color, and form, and equally important, help knit together the fragments of disturbed habitats. Give your garden a helping hand by including these terrific natives in your plantings.

Ground Covers
Is your idea of ground cover an ocean of Pachysandra or a vast expanse of mulch? Discover many fabulous perennial ground covers that are adaptable to various growing conditions, and require little care. Explore a wide range of textures, colors, and heights for sun and shade. Your ground will never be naked again.
