Celebrate the beauty of shade and discover how cool, quiet corners can shine all season long.
About this Event

Join renowned garden expert Marion Jarvie for an inspiring exploration of shade-loving plants and the quiet magic they bring to the garden. Drawing on decades of experience, Marion will share how these sparkling treasures — from the earliest days of spring through late fall — can surprise and delight throughout the entire growing season.

Discover how to recognize the many forms of shade around your home, from beneath trees and shrubs to those cool, restful corners that offer relief on hot summer days. You’ll learn about plant selection, culture, and hardiness for our region, and how to transform shaded spaces into lush, thriving highlights of your garden.

Wednesday, May 6 from 7 to 8:30 p.m.

Public $20, TBG Members $15 (plus applicable taxes and fees).
