Creating Winter Interest With Natives at Hortus Gardens
Hortus Gardens
Public Welcome Family Friendly Paid Event Home Garden Tour Group Tour
Are you interested in adding more winter interest to your garden? Join us on this visit to Hortus Arboretum & Botanical Gardens if you are like many of us, wondering how you can use native plants and ecological practices to enhance your landscape and gardens. We will explore the gardens, a ‘living textbook' of plant species that thrive in the Hudson Valley.
Hortus was started back in 2001 by Allyson Levy and Scott Serrano. Their beautiful gardens and greenhouse have expanded to include a field garden, native woodland, and varied collections organized by geographic origin and genus. We will be focusing on their use of native species and management techniques that will help sustain interest and enjoyment through the winter season by using plants with attractive bark, colorful berries, and beautiful structures.
We will collect a $20 fee for this event at the site (cash or check, please). Details of the event will be shared with people who are registered.
