Hello March! As signs of spring pop up in the Gardens, from thousands of Tommasini’s crocus on Oak and Conifer Knoll to Tubergen squill on the Hillside Garden, we are excited to bring you our latest Member eNews. Read on to register for a special event with best-selling author Hilton Carter, discover fascinating blooms in the Gardens, get ready for an upcoming Floral Feature in the Peirce-du Pont House, and more!
Spring is an extremely popular time to visit our Gardens. So that we may provide an extraordinary experience for you, Members require timed reservations Wednesday–Monday (closed Tuesday) from open to close throughout Spring Blooms (March 30–May 5).
Looking to visit early in the day? Enjoy a special morning hour for Members from 9:00–10:00 am every Saturday and Sunday throughout Spring Blooms. Timed Member reservations are still required during this morning hour for Members, but our Gardens will be available only to Members during that time. Reservations are limited, so please plan ahead.

Learn and Explore in the Gardens |
For our next Science Series offering, join Associate Director of Conservation Horticulture and Plant Breeding Peter Zale, Ph.D., and explore how our conservation efforts take place in our laboratory, the fields and forests of Pennsylvania, and remote regions around the world. Along the way, discover how we build upon our own collections and advance conservation on a global scale, through such work that begins with the often-tiny—yet always formidable—seed.
| An Afternoon with Hilton Carter |
Join us for a special afternoon with plant and interior stylist, best-selling author, and artist Hilton Carter as he shares his expertise on plant propagation and signs copies of his just-released book The Propagation Handbook. Carter delves into best propagation methods, necessary tools, and different considerations by type of plant. Follow along as he demonstrates his own plant propagation methods and then learn expert tips and tricks as he opens the floor for your questions.

Just like a garden, buildings need tending and we’re taking these first few months of the new year to care for The Café and 1906, resulting in closures. The Café and 1906 will be closed through April, yet plenty of delicious food will be available in climate-controlled tents.
