CEU’s for master gardeners & landscape architects!

Saturday, January 28 ~ 8:30 am-12:30 pm
LSU Design Auditorium
$45 Members/ $60 Non-Members

PROGRAM SCHEDULE
8:30 AM – Welcoming Comments
8:40 AM – Randy Harelson
“How Old is Old?”
(When You’re Talking About a Plant)
Gardeners in the 21st century toss around a lot of terms for plants:  heirloom, historic, native, pass-along, even patented!  What are we really talking about?  Randy’s short talk defines some terms and touches on the deeper implications of the plant choices modern gardeners make.

 9:10 AM – Dr. William Welch
“Heirloom Plants and Gardens for Louisiana”
Louisiana has a heritage of cultural influences and plants that is worth celebrating and emulating for today’s gardeners.  As we explore these influences and plants we will be better equipped to create distinctive and useful new gardens that truly reflect our region and its people.  The most meaningful gardens of the past are those that reflected the lifestyle of their owners.  I hope that you will enjoy remembering your own gardening heritage and find ways to reflect it in your landscape.   The heirloom plants we discuss as well as many of the design ideas are time tested keys to continuing the richness of our gardening legacy.

 10:00 – 10:50 AM Intermission
Enjoy the refreshments, visit the garden gift shop, plant sales and LSU’s Robert Reich School of Landscape Architecture “Design Week” student projects on display in the atrium. LSU’s Hilltop Arboretum was the case study site for the “Design Week” activities.

 10:50 AM – Greg Grant
“Gardening for Love:  An Arcadian Dogtrot”
Accompanied by copious pictures, Greg will discuss hisunending love affair with his grandparent’s  old home and property in Deep East Texas and his lifelong quest and promise to restore them.  He will discuss both the historic influences that inspired his developing garden and the cottage garden plants that make their homes there.

11:40 AM – Questions and Answer Session
