Saturday, March 10, 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm – A Nursery Man’s Miscellany: New and Lesser Known, Garden-worthy Plants


Join nurseryman Ed Bowen of Opus Nursery on Saturday, March 10, from 1 – 3, at Berkshire Botanical Garden, for a look at the lesser known garden-worthy plants sure to enhance your garden. Ed’s philosophy suggests that while he appreciates the efficacy element of gardening, success depends on many factors beyond simple plant selection. This lecture will open your eyes to an eclectic range of choice plants to rejuvenate your perennial plant palette

Ed Bowen is a horticulturalist and owner of Opus Nursery, Little Compton, RI. Opus is a deliberately small nano-nursery actively collecting, propagating, and growing a diverse range of plants. Ed’s focus is the under-cultivated and garden worthy, and he specialize in unusual perennials. He employs strictly organic pest controls, and is striving to be peat free. The class is $22 for BBG members, $27 for non-members, and you may register on-line at www.berkshirebotanical.org.  Photo below, copyright Sakonnet,  from an excellent website www.whatweretheskieslike.com, reporting on gardens, horticulture, and botany.
