Gardening for Winter: Techniques for Planting and Protecting
Plants
Join horticulturist and nurseryman Sean Hogan and learn how easy it is to keep that little impulse purchase (or
large collection of gotta-have-it-even-if-it-is-Zone-9 babies) alive over the winter.
Sean will also cover general winter preparation techniques and good plant choices
for winter in his lecture and demonstration, followed by a tour of the spectacular display
beds at Cistus Nursery. Sean has traveled the world in search of additions to
the garden palette, sharing his discoveries and knowledge with audiences large
and small. In addition to writing for several publications, he is the US Author for
Flora, and author of Trees for All Seasons: Broadleaved Evergreens for Temperate Climates

Gen(i)us Program:
Deciduous Viburnums: A Plant for All Seasons
Genus genius Dorothy Rodal is a collector of viburnums because she thinks they are beautiful. You will see pictures of these shrubs and trees, not only in close-ups but also growing with other plants to give you ideas on how they might look growing in your garden. Offering blooms at different times throughout the year, many viburnums form attractive fruits known as drupes which persist all winter. The winter bloomers are generally grown for their fragrance, plus the flowers are very lovely. A number of types have a wonderful structure to enjoy all winter long. Dorothy will share her personal favorites and some lucky folks will take viburnums home as door prizes!
