March 2026 Floral Arrangements at Monticello

 

The March program was a presentation by Janet Miller on floral arrangements and gardens at Monticello, President Thomas Jefferson home. She gave an overview of the grounds that includes an orchard, winery, vegetable gardens and a one acre garden for cuttings for the floral arrangements. She did fresh floral arrangements every other day from May 1-November 1! She also dried flowers from the garden and used those for arrangements for the winter. The arrangements were used for the house and events at Monticello.
