Friends of the Arboretum Lecture
Part of A Walk in the Winter Garden
"Beyond Dwarf Alberta: Conifers for the Smaller Garden"
Mark Weathington, Assistant Director and Curator of Collections
February 15, 2009 (Sunday) – 1:00 PM–2:30 PM
While they are certainly majestic, few of us have room soaring cedars and large spruces. That doesn't mean our gardens have to be needle-free. Conifer selections ranging from tiny muffins to larger shrubs add weight and a sense of permanence to the landscape. We'll explore a variety of conifers suitable to the south for all types of garden conditions from sun to shade.
