The Burlington Garden Club will host Jen Kettell, Radiant Leaf Consulting, on Wednesday, April 22 at 6:45 pm in the Murray Kelly Room in the Burlington Council on Aging Building, 61 Center Street in Burlington. Jen will speak on The Camel’s Garden: Drought Tolerant Plants for a Changing Climate. The program is funded in part by a grant from the Burlington Cultural Council, a local agency supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a State agency.

Jen Kettell, BCMA is a consulting arborist serving the New England area (and occasionally beyond). As the owner of Radiant Leaf Consulting, she shares her passion for horticulture through the training she provides to both homeowners and green industry professionals. She started landscaping as a teen, continuing to farming, greenhouse production, and finally the Arnold Arboretum before she began building Radiant Leaf Consulting. Today, Radiant Leaf is celebrating just over ten years as a small local business.

She has consulted for Safdie Architects and The Trustees’ public gardens, and has served as a guest lecturer for the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, the Arnold Arboretum, and the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA).
