For 2011, we're putting together an evening, garden seminar series that will be held every month on a select Wednesday night from 6 pm until 8 pm at the Rotary Botanical Gardens' Parker Education Center. All of these talks will be FREE for RBG Friends Members, otherwise, an affordable $5 for everyone else. Our first speaker will be Mr. Dale Sievert from Waukesha, WI. I like to call him "Mr. Moss" as he has established himself as one of the top moss gardeners in the country and his 1 acre garden (which I've visited twice personally) is amazing for not only the use of moss but the design of the space as well. All the images in this posting are from Dale's garden. Dale's use of moss was just featured in the
American Gardener magazine which is the publication for the American Horticultural Society. Dale will be talking specifically about his use of moss (design, establishment and maintenance) in his own garden (and containers) but will also be talking about his garden in general. Mark January 19th on your calendar and certainly contact me with any questions. In February, we'll be having a seminar on woody plants from Dave Wanninger (Beaver Creek Nursery). Dave has a vast knowledge of woody plants and will be sharing some of his favorites. In March, a seminar on herbs from Patty Bailey, owner of Patty's Plants, Natural & Organic Garden Supply (Milton, WI). Patty's Plants was just named Small Business of the Year (2010) from the Milton Area Chamber of Commerce, Industry & Tourism. More dates and details regarding these, and other upcoming seminars, will be on this blog soon.
