About the event
We'll explore standout perennials that deliver vibrant color, varying heights for layered structure, strong pollinator appeal (bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and more), and interesting texture through foliage, blooms, or seed heads. These plants provide multi-season benefits—early spring wakes, summer abundance, and fall drama—while supporting wildlife and requiring relatively low maintenance once established.
Our plant specialist will lead a guided tour of our Love Sign Perennial Garden. You'll see these plants in real garden settings, learn how they transition through the seasons, and discover why they're pollinator magnets. We'll highlight varieties currently available for sale at the Market, so you can take home inspiration (and plants!) right away
This event is free, but we kindly ask that you RSVP so we know you’re coming. Walk-ins are welcome on the day of the event.
