Go on a journey through the growing season with past Garden Club of the Back Bay speaker Suzanne Mahler as she talks on Perennial Color, Spring Through Fall. It’s not just a dazzling photographic display of the hottest new perennials and the tried and true favorites for both sunny and shady sites; it’s also what-you-can-do-now advice for making next spring your best gardening season ever. Suzanne’s talks are noted for their detailed handouts and sound horticultural practices. The event will take place at Elm Bank, 900 Washington Street in Wellesley, on Wednesday, August 18, from 6:30 – 8, and refreshments will be offered. $8 for Mass Hort members, and $10 for non-members. Please bring cash or check. For directions and more information, log on to www.masshort.org. Gaillardia grandiflora ‘Fanfare’ is pictured below.
