Discover the best perennials for your garden! 

Each year, hundreds of new perennials are introduced, and gardeners' opinions on these plants depend on how well they've been tested. These tests look at how the plants grow, how resistant they are to pests and diseases, and how well they survive cold winters. Richard Hawke will share information about perennials that have been shown to be beautiful, reliable, and strong after being tested at the Chicago Botanic Garden.

Unveiling the Wonders of Gardening: The Know to Grow Webinar Series 

PHS is delighted to present the Know to Grow Webinar Series, a vibrant and inclusive program designed to nurture your love for gardening. This reimagined lecture series welcomes everyone, from seasoned gardeners to those with a budding curiosity about the plant world.
