Plant Collecting 101

Tired of the same old plants? Interested in adding something new and exciting to your personal collection? In Plant Collecting 101 we will highlight some interesting species you should consider adding to your home (some of which will be for sale during the show!), go over their care needs and talk about how to source these plants. You will get to see live examples in person and be able to ask our horticulturists all your questions during a question-and-answer period.

Saturday, February 22 from 10:00-11:30 a.m.

Registration: Public $20, TBG Members $15 (plus applicable taxes and fees)
