The Portland Classical Chinese Garden will present a variety of events exploring chrysanthemums, or Ju Hua, as they're known in China, beginning Monday, November 2nd. The run includes lectures on chrysanthemums in Chinese medicine, Asian-inspired floral arrangements, and an "Ask an Expert" session to wrap up on the 8th.

Prize-winning flowers from the Portland Chrysanthemum Society will be displayed around the Garden, and in addition to the lectures, the Garden is offering family activities, including bookmark making, as well.
