Tuesday, February 11, 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm – Begonias for Any Season

by

Far from ordinary, begonias are wonderful houseplants; many make lovely terrarium specimens. This Massachusetts Horticultural Society program on February 11 at 7 pm at The Gardens at Elm Bank will feature how to grow begonias both inside and out. A season by season plan for enjoying this diverse and versatile genus will be described. As winter wanes and we think about spring, begonias as bedding and container plants are a beautiful addition to any garden. Fall brings cooler weather, and is the time to think about bringing plants inside and perhaps taking a few cuttings. With the holidays, it’s time for “winter-flowering” and fancy-leaved hybrids to enjoy while waiting for spring. Instructed by Betsy Szymczak, President, Buxton Branch – American Begonia Society. MGH members $20, general admission $35. Register at www.masshort.org
