During the Open House the display gardens will be open all day and there will be guided garden tours on the hour. Special seminars will be offered during the day including one on “Flower Arranging” at noon. A plant sale focusing on herbs, dahlias, unusual plants, and hanging baskets will also be held for those who are interested in finding something new for their home. Special on-going activities during the Open House include Victory Garden demonstrations where guests can learn about growing vegetables, and wagon ride tours of the 68 acre research farm (10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.; this is not recommended for children)
