Tropical Possibilities: A Guide to Growing Tropical Plants

Wednesday, September 23rd

10am- 11:00am

Charleston's long growing season and increasingly mild winters are opening up to exciting possibilities for gardeners looking to expand their plant palette. Tropical and subtropical plants can bring dramatic foliage, vibrant color, and unexpected texture to the garden, but choosing the right plants and understanding what they need is key to long-term success.

Join the plant experts from Meeting Green for an engaging workshop exploring how to incorporate tropical plants into the Lowcountry landscape. From statement-making foliage and colorful blooms to plants that can thrive through much of our growing season.

We'll cover:

  • Choosing tropical and subtropical plants suited to Lowcountry conditions

  • Placing plants according to sun, shade, moisture, and space

  • Caring for tropicals throughout Charleston's changing seasons

  • Designing with bold foliage, color, scale, and texture

  • Preparing more tender plants for cooler temperatures

Whether you want to create a lush garden retreat, add a few tropical accents to an existing landscape, or simply experiment with something new, you'll leave with practical guidance and plenty of inspiration for bringing a little tropical flair home.
