Tuesday, February 4, 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm Eastern – Celebrate the Winter Garden with Warren Leach, Online

The winter landscape may be quiet, but the garden doesn’t have to be bleak! With thoughtful planning you can celebrate winter’s unique beauty and enjoy brightly colored berries, twigs, stems, foliage, and even winter-blooming flowers that shrug off the snow and cold.

Join Innisfree Gardens on February 4 at 1 pm Eastern online with award-winning landscape designer, horticulturist, nurseryman, and plant collector Warren Leach. Showcasing stunning gardens he has created, Warren will share inspired design ideas and plant choices that will help you create a more engaging and beautiful winter garden. Warren Leach’s new book, Plants for the Winter Garden, has already garnered tremendous praise, including during a recent interview with Margaret Roach. We are delighted to host him for this exclusive virtual lecture, the only online talk he will be giving in his busy 2025 speaking calendar. 

Warren Leach has been sharing his expertise and passion for more than thirty-five years, designing private gardens and displays at major garden shows throughout New England as well as teaching and publishing widely. He has received the Massachusetts Horticultural Society Gold Medal, the Elizabeth and Roger Swain Award, multiple awards from the National Landscape Association, and many others. Warren and his wife own Tranquil Lake Nursery in Rehoboth, MA.

There will be a Q&A session at the end of the lecture. A link to the recorded talk will be emailed to ticket-holders. $25 for Innisfree members, $35 for nonmembers. Register at https://www.innisfreegarden.org/2025calendar/wintergarden
