Despite it being “stick season” — the usually cold, gray time of year between fall foliage and the first snow — the Lyman Conservatory at the Botanic Garden of Smith College is still in full bloom for the 2023 Fall Chrysanthemum Show with 58 named varieties of mums grown by botanic garden staff and horticulture students.
Plus, the show features more than 100 new varieties — novel hybrids created by Smith College students through careful cross breeding.
