SUMMARY:Vine to Glass: The Architecture of Autumn: Earth\, Forest Floor\, & Volcanic Shadows
DESCRIPTION:As the leaves drop and the fireplace sparks to life\, our palates crave something deeper. This evening\, we step away from simple fruit flavors to explore the moody\, complex world of savory wines. We are diving into bottles defined by “terroir” — wines that smell of damp forest floor\, black truffles\, wild mushrooms\, and volcanic smoke. Learn how to pair the structural power of old-school European gems and New World icons with the richest\, comforting dishes of the fall harvest.\n\n\nAll-inclusive fee covers tasting of 6 wines\, an elegant and delicious 6-course upscale  autumn-inspired dinner\, complimentary wine glass and gratuity. \nFees: Member $90\, Non-Member $108 \nNote: If you have food allergies or dietary restrictions\, please register more than one week before the program date.  Menus are set 1 week in advance and additional restrictions cannot be accommodated after that time. \n\nParticipants 21 and older only. All programs are subject to change.  Pre-registration through our website is required. \nLewis Ginter Botanical Garden strives to be a Garden for all and we are committed to offering diverse adult learning opportunities that are inclusive and accessible to all learners.

SUMMARY:Plant\, Design & Grow: Fall Container Garden Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Create a professionally designed fall container in this hands-on planting workshop\, perfect for gardeners of all skill levels. Each participant will build a custom seasonal arrangement using a curated selection of fall plants chosen for color\, texture\, and longevity. To simplify the process and ensure consistent results\, all designs will be created in a standard-sized planting sleeve (fits a 12.5” ceramic container). This allows for easy transport and a seamless drop-in fit once you return home. Participants are encouraged to bring measurements and photos of their containers to ensure compatibility. We’ll begin with a brief overview of container design principles\, including plant combinations\, spacing\, and how to create balanced\, eye-catching arrangements for the fall season. From there\, you’ll be guided step-by-step as you plant your own container insert using provided soil\, fertilizer\, and high-quality plant material. You’ll leave with a finished arrangement ready to drop into your favorite pot—making it easy to refresh your porch or garden with minimal effort. \nFees: Member $72\, Non-Member $90 \nAll programs are subject to change.

SUMMARY:Plant Identification: Tools and Techniques for Identifying Native and Naturalized Plants in the Mid-Atlantic Region
DESCRIPTION:This course provides an in-depth overview of the tools and techniques used by botanists to identify plants to the species level\, with a strong emphasis on family characteristics. Attendees will learn how to use the diversity of resources available – including field guides\, apps\, AI\, and technical manuals – to answer the question: “What is that species?” More importantly\, they will learn how to use dichotomous keys to verify their identifications – the most critical step in plant ID. With this class\, you will learn not only how to get an answer\, but also how to know that you got it right! An important focus of the course will be on empowering attendees to “dismantle” the seemingly endless complex of scientific terminology surrounding plant identification. This course takes the place of “Intermediate Botany” in the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden catalog of course offerings. \nFees: Member: $183\, Non-Member: $229 \nAll programs are subject to change.

SUMMARY:Native Plants for Beginners
DESCRIPTION:Learn the basics of including native perennial plants in your home garden. Join instructor Kaity Bevenour\, native plant specialist & owner of Parallel Nursery\, for an introduction to the ornamental & environmental benefits of commonly available Virginia native plants. Participants will get an overview of a variety of native perennial species suitable for garden use\, including different flowers\, grasses\, and sedges.

At the conclusion of the lecture portion we will take a short walk to the Morton Native Garden to view examples of some of these native species growing in a garden setting. Students will be able to take home 6 native plants in a Parallel Nursery Mix & Match 6-Pack (landscaping plug size). \nFees: Member $59\, Non-Member $74 \nAll programs are subject to change.

SUMMARY:Exploring the Mystery of Bird Migration
