CHOOSE A 3-WEEK SESSION: SEPT 8-22 -OR- SEPT 29-OCT 13

This plant appreciation class will be a 3-week series where we will see plants in different spaces, with different functions and benefits whether in our own homes, outside in our gardens and neighborhoods, and then, in our fragile world!

Instructor: With over 35 years of experience teaching horticulture at Saul H.S. and at Temple University, Lisa Blum puts her knowledge to use in her own garden. She assists with children's programming at the Ambler Arboretum and is part of the PA Horticultural Society Tree Tenders team to train communities in the care of trees.

Even though the days are shorter and air is cooler, fall reveals a gorgeous display of leaf color in our trees and shrubs. Enjoy the show as we see the variety of colors and patterns in foliage and learn why leaves turn from green to red, yellow, orange, rust, brown, mustard, burgundy and combinations of all of these beauties! We will suggest which plant species provide the best pictures and where to find these in arboreta, parks, and landscapes.
