Seed Exchange Workshops
The Henry Foundation for Botanical
Research, 801 Stony Lane, Gladwyn PA
Join us to clean, sort, and package seeds at our annual Seed
Exchange. Even if you never intend to propagate plants from seeds
yourself, you will be amazed at how much you learn about all
things green at these workshops, sharing information, learning new
varieties and species, finding out about plant sources/nurseries,
and other valuable information. No previous experience is
necessary, nor do you have to attend an entire session. Come when
you can. This is a great way to meet fellow HPSers and to learn on
the job. The Seed Exchange is one of our most important activities
and we need lots of helpers to make this event a success. To
volunteer, email info@hardyplant.org.

Joanne Walkovic Memorial Lecture
with The Scott Arboretum
Lecture - Stephanie Cohen, The “Perennial Diva”-“Native
Perennials from
Meadow, Field, and Forest to Test Tubes”
Scott
Arboretum, Science Auditorium
Free and open to the public
Every year new
cultivars of our American perennials are discovered by
keen-eyed gardeners and growers, while other newcomers are developed
in labs
where genetics rule the roost. This process continues to expand the
extreme
plant addict’s design palette while supporting wildlife
biodiversity. All
the plants discussed are currently available.
Stephanie taught at Temple University for over 20 years and was the
Founding
Director of their arboretum in Ambler. Fine Gardening, Green Scene,
HGTV
Newsletter, Green Scene, and American Nurseryman are just a few of
the
publications to which she contributes. Known on QVC TV at the
“Perennial Diva,”
she was also featured on CN8 TV on gardening segments. Her first
book, The
Perennial Gardener’s Design Primer
was voted best overall book by The Garden Writers of America. Just
last year, Stephanie was listed as one of the top
25 people in the perennial industry by Greenhouse Grower magazine.
Her book
Fallscaping
(2007) will be
followed by The Nonstop
Garden: A Beginner's
Guide to Plant Choices and Simple Plans for Year-round Beauty
(released by
Timber Press, May 2010).
