Camellia and Bulb Extravaganza with Charles Cresson - Tour #2

Noted garden educator and writer Charles Cresson will guide us through his private garden, Hedgleigh Spring, to learn about the best hardy camellias for our region and companion plantings for them. Charles has been growing camellias for over 50 years and trialing the newer hardy hybrids for nearly 40 years. His collection of rare plants includes many bulbs and perennials that will also be in peak bloom. A comprehensive camellia handout will be emailed to participants.

Charles Cresson gardens at Hedgleigh Spring in Swarthmore, Pa, a garden that has been lovingly maintained in his family for 4 generations and is now cared for by one of the country’s leading horticulturists. The garden has been featured in magazines and publications as well as in television programming, notably Monty Don's American Gardens. Charles studied and worked in both the US and Europe including the Royal Horticultural Society. He is an avid gardener and a professional horticulturist, author, lecturer and consultant.
