About the event
Discover the beauty and versatility of perennial garden design in this in-depth walk-and-talk led by Darren March, Grelen’s Plant Manager and resident expert. We’ll explore standout perennials that deliver vibrant color, varying heights for layered structure, strong pollinator appeal (bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and more), and rich texture through foliage, blooms, and seed heads. These hardworking plants offer multi-season interest—from early spring awakenings to summer abundance and fall drama—while supporting wildlife and requiring relatively low maintenance once established.
Darren will guide participants through our Love Sign Perennial Garden, where you’ll see these plants thriving in real garden settings. Learn how they transition throughout the seasons, why they’re pollinator magnets, and how to combine them for lasting impact in your own landscape.
We’ll also highlight varieties currently available for purchase at The Market, so you can take home inspiration — and plants — right away.
