    03/21/2026

    Classes and Workshops

    10:00am to 12:00pm. Cost: $15, $10 for YAA Members. Until recently, their omission from modern garden design had persisted nearly half a century, but that’s rapidly changing as gardeners discover the exceptional qualities of newer varieties that have been specifically developed for today’s smaller, low-maintenance gardens. These aren’t your grandmother’s peonies! Join Lore as she shares everything you need to know, including peony selection, flower forms, planting, propagating, and care. In addition, Lore will discuss how to use peonies as cut flowers, including tips on storing peonies for later use in flower arrangements and competitive shows. She will share the historical journey of three millennia of garden use of both tree and herbaceous peonies, as well as the ongoing development of the exciting new Itoh intersectional crosses. Bring your questions and get ready to rediscover these incredibly beautiful and majestic landscape aristocrats!
