Horticulture Magazine has a series of free download’s on its website which give you access to great garden speakers from the comfort of your own home. No new live workshops are currently scheduled as of this date, but you may access recordings of past workshops at http://www.hortmag.com/smart-gardening-workshops
Here are highlights of two presentations of interest. We will feature more in the coming weeks:
RHS Chelsea Flower Show: The Winners (Parts 1 and 2)
Monrovia Nursery’s Director of New Plants, Nicholas Staddon, shares his opening day experiences at the Chelsea Flower Show 2014 in this unique workshop. He’ll take us through the stalls to see up-and-coming trends in gardens tools and decor, and we’ll get to wander the grounds with him as he shows us the award-winning garden displays. He then takes us on a VIP visit to the Grand Marquis at the 2014 Chelsea Flower Show, where we’ll see the most exciting plants and new ways they’re being used in today’s gardens. It’s a unique experience, almost like we’ll have arrived in plant heaven. Born and bred in England, Nicholas will also take this opportunity to share a few of his other discoveries he made while in his birthplace.
Create a Kitchen Garden Wherever You Grow
Why do people garden? Money, beauty, great food, and peace of mind are all great reasons. You may not think you have room to garden, but you do. Gardening is one part craft and one part artistic endeavor. Let author Dee Nash show you how to grow wherever you live: apartment, condominium, small house, larger property, or even in a community garden. Learn to create a garden that won’t scare your neighbors, but also gives you great food to eat and plants that awaken your five senses.
