Join Longwood’s East Conservatory Manager Karl Gercens as he covers all things tropical foliage and flowers—from techniques for planting to tips and inspiration for design combinations, and how to overwinter your plants through the colder months.
During this hands-on class, have fun while planting exotic tropical treasures in a container of diverse and contrasting textures. Select, combine, and plant a variety of “hot” plants into a beautiful focal point to take home—for indoor or outdoor display.
