Deciduous trees are typically the longest-lasting plants in a landscape and, when mature, can be the most valuable structures on a property.

Through a series of lectures and tours throughout the Gardens, join us in exploring the identification and many landscape uses—and benefits—of deciduous trees found in this region. Explore how they provide framework to your garden, contribute as a significant habitat for wildlife, offer essential shade in the landscape, and can even lower your energy bill. You’ll leave this class with knowledge on how to implement these valuable plants into your outdoor spaces.
