    Description:

    Join our lilac curator, Kitty Werner, as she presents ALL ABOUT LILACS. She will tell you about LILAC care–their needs and which varieties bloom when–from the earliest to several that bloom in October. Hybridizing has created lilacs with 11 different color groupings, multiple shades of all these colors, and florets that are “single,” or “double.” The Hort Farm has over 100 lilacs, from small to massive, showing a variety of many of these stunning plants.

    This event is part of the Bloom Time Festival this year.
