Join us for a special Bellefield Garden Talk with Sue Adams, who will share her favorite new flower introductions for 2026. Each year, Sue visits trial gardens across the Northeast—including New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, and New Hampshire—to evaluate upcoming varieties. Her presentation will highlight the most exciting blooms that will soon make their way into gardens and greenhouses. Expect vibrant photos, expert insights, and plenty of inspiration for your own plantings.
Sue Adams is vice president of Adams Greenhouses, a five-acre operation in Poughkeepsie. She is an award-winning container designer, a graduate of Cornell University, and president of New York State Flower Industries. She also serves on the New England Floriculture Board (president emeritis) and is the author of What Do Your Flowers Say Today? Sue conducts trials with samples from breeding companies and is working with SUNY Cobleskill to establish a trial garden at the college.
