Container Gardening & Hummingbird Watch  

September 5, 6-7 pm

 

Join Seasonal Displays and Tropical Plants Curator Jill Maybry for a guided tour of the container plantings on the new Youth Education & Tropical Plant House patio. Learn what the plants are, why they were chosen, and what kind of care they require. We'll also be on the lookout for ruby-throated hummingbirds visiting the plants, as this is during the peak of their annual fall migration and many of the patio plants are hummingbird favorites!
