The workshops are open to all Long Islanders that want to learn the art of growing giant mums and is free to attend.

The Long Island Chrysanthemum Society has a mentor program, so anyone that takes a plant will have someone to consult with as you progress through the season.
 
Farmingdale is home to some of the champion growers of mums on Long Island. Professor Paul Fogelberg (retired) of SUNY Farmingdale, was the recipient of a national level award for his chrysanthemum bonsai at the 54^th Annual Long Island Chrysanthemum Show.  Long time Farmingdale resident, John E. Capobianco, has received multiple national level awards at local and national shows.
