Trillium Week is on at the New England Wildflower Society. On Saturday, May 14 at Garden in the Woods, come to a demonstration with Dan Jaffe on Dividing Trilliums. Do you want your trillium patch to spread throughout your garden? In this demonstration, Dan will teach you everything you need to know about turning one trillium into many, from which tools to use to how to divide different species. On Sunday May 15, Dan will explore Planting and Caring for Trilliums. Good trillium care begins before you even break ground. He will show you how to select trillium species, prepare a site for planting, and care for a plant once it’s in the ground. Both programs run from 1:30 – 2:00 pm, free with admission.
