Meet the Heaths!

The rhododendrons are just one branch of an interesting and attractive family tree. Join Arboretum staff for a look at the heath family (Ericaceae) at PHA. There’s more to this family than our 523 (not that we’re counting!) beloved rhododendrons. On this walk we will tour the living collection and meet the relatives, discovering many lesser-known ericaceous plants including native shrubs, evergreen groundcovers, and summer-blooming trees.
