To celebrate the JC Raulston Arboretum’s 50th anniversary, this 6-week course explores 50 brilliant plant combinations that showcase the power of pairing plants with purpose. From colorful annuals and dependable perennials to shrubs, trees, and vines, we’ll examine combinations that stand out for their beauty, ecological value, seasonal interest, and practical performance in the landscape. In this class, you’ll learn how different plants can complement one another through color, texture, bloom time, structure, habitat support, and garden function. Along the way, Bryce will share practical insights into plant selection, placement, maintenance, and design strategies that help these combinations succeed in real home gardens — not just on paper.
