Gen(i)us Program:
A Fanfare of Trumpets: Non-Stop Performers for the Summer Garden
Genus genius Maurice Horn is co-owner of Joy Creek Nursery
18 miles north of Portland, featuring 4 acres of display gardens and stock fields. Over his many
years in horticulture, Maurice has
observed how certain flowering plants
have evolved with trumpet or tube-shaped
flowers, and how such plants
often have very long blooming periods,
making them particularly useful in the
garden. Hardy varieties of Phygelius,
Penstemon, Zauschneria and Fuchsia
are some notable examples, and
Maurice will guide us through these
genera and make suggestions for
outstanding selections for our own
gardens. He will have an array of plants
for sale, as well.
Multnomah Center Directions
Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
Program begins at 7 p.m.
