Revitalize your late summer/early fall garden with colorful, unusual container gardening. Whether you start with distinctive containers as planters, introduce intense colors via flowers or foliage (or both!), and create drama with dynamic plant combinations, you can make your garden pop until the first frost.

The American Horticultural Society and Corona Tools are pleased to welcome their guest, Nicholas Staddon, director of the New Plants Team at Monrovia. Throughout its 89 year history, Monrovia has introduced hundreds of fabulous plants that flourish in your garden. Nicholas has an international vision of plants, working with breeders, hybridizers and professional plant explorers as he scours the globe for new creations and discoveries in the plant world.

AHS2BNicholas Staddon is a popular speaker at garden shows and clubs all over the United States, and we are delighted to have him join #plantchat for the first time. We will be sharing tips for creating attention-getting containers, using the latest edgy items as planters, and choosing the plants that will thrive in your climate while putting on a big show until early fall.
