AUGUST 27
Location: The Gardens on Spring Creek
Instructors: Chad Miller and Alison O’Connor
Fall beauty doesn’t happen by accident; it’s designed from the very beginning of the growing season. This session explores how to plan for a garden that peaks in autumn, from early‑season choices that set the stage to strategic additions later in the year.
With Chad Miller, learn how to incorporate fall‑forward perennials, shrubs and trees, how to extend color and texture deep into the season, and which classic woody plants reliably deliver standout autumn interest.
After the talk, join Alison O’Connor for a guided fall‑interest tour featuring real‑world examples of the plants and design strategies discussed—trees, shrubs, and perennials that bring richness and vibrancy to the late‑season landscape.
