Tuesday, May 23 – Sunday, May 31 – Virtual Rhododendron Festival

by

Heritage Museums and Gardens is renowned for its collection of thousands of world-famous rhododendrons in over 175 varieties. The Rhododendron Festival is often a sign of summer’s approach and our gardens awakening here at Heritage. While the museums and gardens are closed, we are very proud to offer our first ever Virtual Rhododendron Festival! We have compiled a trove of online resources you can enjoy from home!

Check out the Rhododendron Festival Youtube Playlist to learn about proper plant care and pruning techniques via video demonstrations with our Director of Horticulture, Les Lutz. Manager of Interpretation, Alexandra Mulrow, shares the story of Heritage’s fascinating rhododendron legacy and much more.
