WED, MARCH 19 HORTICULTURAL LECTURE #3—WILLIAM CULLINA: WHAT DO YOU MEAN I’M NOT A PERENNIAL?
This
ongoing series is hosted by Wave Hill’s Friends of Horticulture
Committee and is devoted to landscape design and the meaning of our
interactions with plants and the natural world. The final lecture this
season is provided by William Cullina, award-winning author and
Executive Director of the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens. Most folks
are familiar with the concept of the mixed border—perennials, annuals,
shrubs and evergreens blended together in a seamless composition
year-round. It sounds good in theory, but transplanting this concept
into a real garden is more difficult than it seems. In this talk, Bill
Cullina profiles his favorite 50 “natural mixers,” focusing on native
woody plants and how to manage them to bring, form, texture, color and
wildlife to the perennial garden. $25/$20 Wave Hill Member, Student.
Reservations recommended, online, onsite at the Perkins Visitor Center
or by calling 718.549.3200 x216.
