A new wave garden blending colors, textures and fragrances
 
New Wave Gardening: 10am - noon
New-wave gardening is a continental European ecological approach to combining perennials in the garden using robust, low maintenance plants that are selected and grouped according to their ideal growing situation.  The illustrated lecture will be led by Robert Herman, a professional horticulturist who spent almost seven years in Europe as "Meister" for the Countess von Zeppelin Nursery in Germany. He frequently lectures at plant conferences and botanical gardens in North America and Europe and his articles have appeared in American Nurseryman, Fine Gardening, the German magazine Garden and Landscape, and the Hardy Plant Society Journal in England.
Cost of the lecture: Members $22 / Nonmembers $27
