Plant-lover's Tour

"Small Trees for Shade Gardens"
Greg Paige, Director of Horticulture

  • Tuesday, June 4, 2024 – 9:00 am–10:00 am

We get it, the more plants you have, the less room you have for new plants. And it doesn't help things when the average landscape size is shrinking, and the number of sunny spots in any mature garden only become fewer and fewer over time. But just because the only space left in your garden is under the shade of a tree doesn't mean there's no place for some really nice new specimen trees! Don't miss this Plant-lover's Tour where our Director of Horticulture, Greg Paige, will show us around the garden and highlight some of the best small tree selections for tight spaces under shade. After all, the only thing better than trees is more trees!
