"GardenScape 2008"
I am thrilled and flattered by the opportunity to
serve as one of four
headline speakers at the 17th annual GardenScape flower
and garden show to be held this coming March 13th through 16th at
the Dome Center, just south of Rochester, in Henrietta, New York!
From
11:00 a.m. to noon on Thursday, March 13th, I'll give a presentation entitled, Big Ideas From a Small City Garden.
During this session, I'll share our experience of transforming a
weedy, rubble-strewn urban lot, left, into a comfortable, colorful,
environmentally-sensitive
garden. I'll also point out how many of
the techniques we employed on a small scale are equally appropriate
in multiple-acre suburban and country landscapes.
Then, after a quick break for lunch, I'll be back from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. to offer a selection of Great Plants
For Maximum Impact in Upstate New York Gardens. Over the
course of an hour I'll share my thoughts on a
collection of trees,
shrubs, perennials, ornamental grasses and bulbs that are attractive
throughout the year - and very well suited for the rigors of upstate
New York. I can tell you right now that one shrub that will
certainly make the list is
chokeberry, above right!
