One of the joys and rewards of working in the industry is learning from global experts.
Plant people are generally grounded & passionate.
They know that for plants to survive, we must not only share them, but pass along knowledge, so they are also usually generous.
Yesterday, I was fortunate to hear/see presentations by
John Greenlee of Greenlee & Associates (Meadows & Grasses)
&
Jeff Epping, Director of Horticulture at Olbrich Botanical Gardens
(Meadows & Gravel Gardens)
at Intrinsic Perennial Gardens run by Brent Horvath.
By the time John gave a tour of the garden (below) that he had just put together,
Jeff had already left to drive back to Madison (so no pix of him).
I was inspired by their commitment to sustainability,
their practical advice
and their aesthetic concepts.
It was quite a dramatic weather day with the types of
clouds we witness in The Midwest.
