Late Summer Gardens

Chanticleer horticulturalist Dan Benarcik presents Fashionably Late: Ideas for the Late Summer Garden, a talk on Wednesday, July 15 at 7:30 p.m. at the Polly Hill Arboretum’s Far Barn.

Many home gardeners desire a long seasonal display but aren’t sure how to extend the season after the burst of summer color fades. Mr. Benarcik will explore stylish options and additions that keep colorful flowers and foliage from late summer through fall. Chanticleer, a pleasure garden near Wayne, Penn., focuses on creative plant combinations, textures and colors that provide an artistic horticultural show throughout the year. This lecture is sponsored by Heather Gardens.

Cost is $10, or $5 for arboretum members.
