    Barbara Provest of Provest Daylily Garden will speak on Thursday, August 30, beginning at 7 pm, at Elm Bank, on the topic Daylilies for Season-Round Color. Daylilies are summer show-offs, but the right cultivar can give you bright, beautiful blooms from mid-May through the end of September. You’ll learn everything you need to know about choosing daylilies, caring for them, and dividing them to keep expanding your garden.

She also designed the daylily garden at Mass Hort with its 600+ cultivars.  Thursday at the Hort presentations begin at 7 p.m. and go until all questions are answered.
