Gardening Unplugged - Out Bloom the Gloom with Dr. Patrick McMillan

You can have something blooming in your garden every day of the year, just like we do here at Juniper Level Botanical Garden. In 2023 we had an uncharacteristically warm February, so many more plants were in bloom for the Winter Open House. Join our Director of Horticulture and Gardens Dr. Patrick McMillan in a walk through the garden as he discusses some of his favorites, such as Urophysa, Hellebores, Trillium, Cardamine, Pulmonaria, Primula, Cyclamen, Epimedium, Chrysogonum etc.

Plant Delights Nursery is an award-winning nursery in Raleigh, NC near Garner. We specialize in rare, and unusual perennials and we strive to carry a wide selection of exotic plants, cold hardy tropical plants, and native plants. Many of our best perennials are available nowhere else in the US as they represent rare plants collected by Plant Delights founder Tony Avent during his more than 60 plant hunting expeditions to places like China, Crete, Taiwan, South Africa and Argentina or distributed by some of the many specialty plant organizations of which Plant Delights is a member. www.plantdelights.com
Juniper Level Botanic Garden was founded in 1986 by Tony Avent to promote and preserve botanic diversity by bridging the gap between botany and horticulture through plant study, identification, educational outreach, and global plant exploration. JLBG is home to over 28,000 taxa spread over 28 acres of beautiful grounds. www.jlbg.org
