Local Events

Join horticulturist and flower bulb grower Jason Delaney and the Oak Spring Garden Foundation Library staff for a richly illustrated and immersive lecture on the storied history of a timeless garden favorite, the tulip. Drawing from five centuries’ worth of lavish content in the OSGF Library’s rare and antiquarian holdings, Jason will enlighten participants on the tulip’s wild origins, its artistic historical representation, its early commercial aspects as the first speculative commodity, and its place in Bunny Mellon’s gardens today.
