Free Garden Seminars and Demonstrations

Sean Hogan, owner of Cistus Design Nursery, is back to speak at the show! Sean, known for his knowledge and expertise about plants from many corners of the world, gives two presentations that you won't want to miss: What Plants Want and Best and New Natives for Design. Another highlight is a seminar by Mr. Sadafumi Uchiyama, Curator of the Portland Japanese Garden, discussing Elements of Japanese Garden Design.

The Vegetable Gardening 101 panel discussion, featuring Willi Galloway, Glen Andresen and Lori Vollmer (local edible gardening experts) promises to engage the audience in the joys of "veg" planting and eating!

Speakers from outside Oregon include Val Easton, garden columnist for the Seattle Times Pacific Northwest Magazine, sharing information from her new book, Petal & Twig, Bouquets from Your Garden in All Seasons, along with perennial favorite Ciscoe Morris, entertaining the audience with a talk about The Good, The Bad and Why Did I Ever Plant That!
