Selection and Care of Holiday Plants - CANCELLED

Many people love to give, receive and display potted plants over the holidays.  Holiday plants are grown in greenhouses and subjected to drastic changes when moved to our homes.  Proper care can extend your enjoyment of the plants.  Join us to learn:

• · Helpful tips for holiday plant selection and care.
• · When to keep a plant and when to “let it go” after the holidays.
• · Care of a variety of holiday houseplants, including: Christmas cactus, poinsettia, paper whites and Norfolk island pines.    
• · Selection and care of holiday topiaries, dish gardens and living arrangements.
