Perennial Plant Conference

10/20/2017

0 Comments

 
This year's line-up of speakers is fabulous and well worth registering for.  Arne Maynard is one of my favorite UK gardens designers - his talk on the Ever Evolving Garden is based on his own garden - Alt-y-bela.  One I've always wanted to visit  

I'm also looking forward to Jonathon Alderson's talk on Ecological Design in Practice.

Botanical Illustration Lecture: Captivating Colors
Sunday, October 12, 2 pm
Speaker: Susan Mintun
The common thread that binds gardeners and botanical artists together is a fascination with plants: how they look, how they grow, what makes each species unique. Scientists are continually uncovering new and wondrous insights into how plants adapt, how they function and how they enhance the quality of our lives. This lecture will explore just a few of the enchanting characteristics of plants that have inspired artists and gardeners for centuries.


Susan Mintun is a horticulturist, former professor at St. Louis Community College and artist member of the Philadelphia Society of Botanical Illustrators.

Exhibition, reception and lecture are all free of charge and open to the public.  
Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens
