1 – 2 p.m. | At the Garden
A tireless advocate for the use of native plants, horticulturist Uli Lorimer shares the ins and outs of how to select, grow, and propagate a wide variety of plants native to New England, 235 of which can be found in his recently published Northeast Native Plant Primer. He will detail the specific benefits individual species bring to our gardens, including seasonality, resilience, texture, and habitat for creatures big and small.
As Director of Horticulture, Uli Lorimer oversees facilities and operations at the Native Plant Trust’s Garden in the Woods and Nasami Farm, a nursery dedicated to research and propagation of native New England plants. He has more than 20 years of experience working with native plants in public gardens with previous positions at Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Wave Hill, and the U.S. National Arboretum.
We offer Continuing Education credits (CEUS) for LA CES and APLD for successful completion of this lecture.
