Melanie's Perennials offers the latest in garden lectures, hands-on gardening programs for children, virtual field trips for senior citizens and more. We'll travel anywhere on Long Island or within 2 hours of New York City.

Programs can be custom made to your specifications or you can choose from pre-made programs. Popular topics are Perennials for Long Island Gardens, Garden Junque, Garden Design, Hot Foliage Plants, Through the Lens (photography tips for the backyard gardener) and The Healthy Garden (for kids).

Tired of spending money on plants that just don't grow? Always had that "do it yourself" itch but just didn't know where to start?
Private gardening lessons are available at the fraction of the cost of hiring a landscape designer. What a great gift idea for the beginning gardener or new home owner!

What's Outside-In?

How about a virtual field trip? Come along with me as I show you some of the most beautiful sights on Long Island.
