Some garden trends come and go with the seasons—but the perennial border has earned its place as a true horticultural classic. Join our Research Technician, Tim, as he explores the rich history and the living beauty of this beloved garden feature. We'll take a look back at how perennial borders came to be, how ours has evolved over time, and what goes into keeping it vibrant season after season. Along the way, Tim will highlight a variety of standout plants currently blooming in our own border—some time-tested favorites, some unexpected gems, and all worth a closer look. Whether you're dreaming of a border of your own or just love a good plant show-and-tell, this program is sure to inspire!
