Tuesday Talks in the Hexagon - Fall into Color with Hannah Ward Howland, MCSL

Come to this talk by Hannah Howland from Plants Unlimited to learn about great perennials that bloom in the late summer into fall. Hanna will bring examples and discuss how to use them in different garden settings and how to care for fall blooming perennials. She will also discuss if they are native plants and/or pollinator friendly.

Hannah Howland is a third-generation horticulturist. She inherited her passion for plants from her father and grandfather while growing up in their family-owned garden center in western Massachusetts. She has a bachelor's degree in Environmental Horticulture from the University of Maine. Hannah is the perennial manager at Plants Unlimited in Rockport and she loves putting her skills to work guiding clients to find the right plants for their projects. Hannah is especially passionate about finding new and modern ways to incorporate our Maine natives into designed landscapes.
