Gardening enthusiasts are invited to gather virtually on Thursday, July 29 for a full day of learning about homegrown flowers as Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens and Penn State Extension present a virtual iteration of the annual Summer Short Course.

Keynote speaker Debra Prinzing, a Seattle-based writer, will be joined by a roster of experts as participants explore the best plants to grow for a year-round cutting garden. Participants will also learn tips for putting together seasonal arrangements and meet the farmers, florists and advocates working to re-localize the floral industry.

Hours are 12:30 p.m. to 5 p.m., and registration costs $55. It will be a live webinar on Zoom and will be recorded and made available to paid registrants within one week of the event. It will then be viewable for one month.
