For those who love to collect interesting, beautiful plants, Gardeners Connect has created Plant Geek Saturday.
In the inaugural year of Plant Geek Saturday, we'll focus on conifers, woody wonders, climbing and trailing clematis, and a lot of plants that don’t fit in any of those categories. Three plant geek enablers have been invited to entice us with an array of interesting plants. Though some of these plants may seem exotic, they thrive in climates like ours.
The speakers:
Steve Owens, co-owner of Bustani Plant Farm in Stillwell, Okla., encouraging us to “Grow Something Different.”
Peter Lowe from The Dawes Arboretum near Columbus, Ohio, talking about “Conifers and Other Woody Wonders.”
Clematis expert Deborah Hardwick from central Ohio, discussing “Clematis Myths and Truths” and enticing us with some collectible vines.
