Details
Us plant people are an exceptionally passionate bunch! Of course, obsessive may be the more accurate word if we’re being honest… but we’re a bit too preoccupied with plants here at the JC Raulston Arboretum to really notice the difference. Whether you call it passion or obsession, the fact remains: the love we have for the natural world is just too expansive to keep to ourselves. Join us for the Winter Symposium at the JCRA so we can share our love, our passion, our obsession for gardening with you, as a reminder to us all of our connection to nature, and each other, to keep that obsession healthy until spring!
This morning symposium is for anybody who loves plants, horticulture, and gardening, no matter how obsessive you may be. Anybody who could use a little inspiration for their own garden, or a reminder of the wonderful things to come when winter ends will gain a lot by attending this event.
This year's symposium features three phenomenal guest speakers: Joseph Tychonievich, Catherine Bukowski, and Mike “Gibby-Siz” Gibson, all of whom are just as obsessed with getting people excited about horticulture as they are with horticulture itself. Their captivating presentations will broaden your perspective and expose you to new ideas, while also reminding you of all the things you love about plants, and all the reasons you love gardening in the first place. You will leave with new things to try out in your own garden, and be reminded that no matter how big your plant obsession grows, you're not the only one!
This program is available both in-person and online. Recordings of the presentations and supplemental materials provided by the speakers will be made available to all participants.
