Learn about the incredible variety of perennial plants that thrive in Northern Illinois and visit The Morton Arboretum’s greenhouses to see examples up close and in person.
Perennials are plants that come back year after year. They are a great addition to any landscape, whether your space is big or small, sunny or shady, dry or wet, manicured or not-so-neat. Learn how to choose perennials that suit your needs and give your garden space the look you want. Get garden design ideas for simple perennial combinations that look great in any yard or garden. Find out what you need to do to care for your plants, including fertilizing, deadheading, and dividing. Then head to the Arboretum’s hoop houses for a tour of the dozens of high-quality perennials that will be sold at the annual plant sale.
This class is perfect for those in the Chicago area and Northern Illinois who want to learn more about designing attractive garden spaces with plants that will thrive for years to come.
