Saturday, October 2, 10:00 am – 11:30 am – Enhancing Your Spring Garden with Bulbs

From snowdrops to alliums, spring bulbs can enliven your garden, adding interest and splashes of color while taking little room. In this October 2 illustrated lecture at Hollister House Garden in Washington, Connecticut, Page Dickey will show and describe a succession of bulbs, some well loved, others little known, to consider and successfully plant.

Page Dickey is a garden writer, lecturer, and designer. Her latest book, Uprooted: A Gardener Reflects on Beginning Again, was published in autumn 2020.  Page is on the Board of the Garden Conservancy and co-founded the Open Days Program in 1995.  She is also on the boards of Stonecrop Gardens, in Cold Spring, NY, and Hollister House Garden in Washington, CT.

Page  lives and gardens with her husband, Bosco Schell, in the company of at least one beloved dog at Church House in Falls Village, CT. $25 for HHG members, $35 for nonmembers. REGISTRATION
