Winter Hort. Blitz
January 17, 2026 @ 9:00 am – 12:00 pm EST
Join us for a morning of “de-leafing” in the gardens! Every year Jenkins’ horticulture staff and volunteers clear the dried tree leaves out of our azlea collection. This serves many purposes including pest management for maple mealybugs, aesthetics, and reduces damage from snow build up on branches. This year we are asking our community to come and join the effort by walking through the gardens with our horticulture staff guiding the leaf clean up from our deciduous and evergreen azalea collections.
No experience needed! Dress for the weather, bring a water bottle, and be prepared to walk on unpaved, uneven surfaces. Gloves, tools, and handwarmers will be provided. Ā
