As temperatures drop, it's the perfect time to divide your peonies and get your perennial garden ready for winter. Join Emily Hammond of Amsonia Design, a horticulturalist and landscape designer specializing in native and perennial plants, for a hands-on workshop in GBC's peony border. She'll demonstrate how to dig up, divide, and replant peonies so they thrive again next spring.

At the close of the demonstration, Emily will share her best tips for closing a perennial garden for the season and cover general fall perennial care. Bring your questions! Emily will wrap up the workshop with an open Q&A, so come ready to tap into her expertise on perennials and native plants.
