As late summer transitions into fall, the garden transitions too—as many of the plants that bloomed in the summer begin to produce seeds or go dormant—but the late season garden still has so much left to admire.
Join Vice President of Horticulture at the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society Andrew Bunting as he shares some of the many plants whose eye-catching flowers, attractive foliage, or interesting seed heads can extend your garden’s season as the days shorten and the temperatures cool. Following the lecture, enjoy a guided stroll through the Gardens to see firsthand how Longwood’s horticulturists add fall interest in the landscape.
