From Pocket Prairies to Native Plant Gardens, a Journey in Management and Public and Professional Responses
Why is it so hard to grow and maintain native herbaceous perennials in the landscape? Dr. Annabel Renwick, who is British, has gardened in the Blomquist Garden of Native Plants at Duke University in North Carolina for the past 14 years. In this talk Annabel will discuss the changing attitude of public and professional gardeners to creating and managing landscapes that contain native herbaceous perennials and will draw on her experience with three projects from Duke Gardens.
