Home Gardening Center
March–November

The Home Gardening Center offers something for everyone in a series of model gardens and display areas designed to demonstrate how to create a beautiful oasis in your own backyard. Learn about vegetable gardening, check out a wide variety of hydrangeas, brush up on the basics of composting, or come to appreciate how fragrance, texture, and even sound can add multi-dimensionality to your garden.

On select weekends throughout the year, experts offer advice on the best plants for home gardens and demonstrate pruning, watering, and other essential techniques, and handouts and tip sheets are always available.

Generous support for the Home Gardening Center is provided by Kenneth and Ellen Roman.
