Piedmont Blueridge Horticulture Society

Beautiful peonies will be available for a lucky winner at each of our fall programs!

Welcome to the new opportunity to learn about our
favorite subjects: plants and good gardening.

Friends from the Piedmont to the Blue Ridge and beyond
have come together because we want to learn from great
gardeners and share both our trials and triumphs.
From tips on the best roses for the mid-Atlantic to
seed-starting methods, we are coming together to share
and sharpen our skills.

At present, the newsletter consists of announcements for upcoming speakers. That material is covered on the website, so the newsletter will resume when we and you have interesting things to share with the membership.

After Each Monthly Meeting -

Triumphs and Tragedies - talking about our gardens and what worked and didn't. This should be a bonus year for drought-tolerant plants!

So relax, get a fresh cookie, and join us for some great talk!

This crocus lawn lives in Herndon. But you could do this too! Crocus leaves cure before mowing is necessary - perfect for placement in the lawn!

Members enjoy a quarterly online newsletter and admission to all regular meetings and guest speaker events. A few special events may have an additional fee and members will receive a discount. Meetings are held on the second Saturday of the month from 2 - 4 pm.

Wishing you great tubs of Basil this Summer!

HELP US, HELP YOU !

Before you do your bulb shopping for fall, keep in mind that you can help support the Piedmont/Blue Ridge Horticulture Society at the same time!

Brent and Becky’s Bulbs help support organizations like ours by allowing a portion from the sale of each bulb to go to the non-profit. All you need to do is google Bloomin Bucks. For me the first item that came up was the right page at Brent and Becky’s website. Once you get there, see the drop down menu and choose Piedmont/Blue Ridge Horticulture Society and a portion of your purchase will be sent to help us bring you great programs.

Buy great quality bulbs, help PBRHS – what could be better!

We get 25% of your order so buy lots of bulbs!
