Charles Price and Glenn Withey lecture: Renovating Gardens of All Sizes
Where: Seattle, WA
Date(s): 11/15/2009
Charles Price and Glenn Withey have been designing gardens together
since 1985 and are known for their bold use of color, extravagant
container gardens, and knowledge of perennials. They co-designed the
original Northwest Perennial Alliance Border at the Bellevue
Botanical Garden and led the development and care of this largest
volunteer-maintained perennial border in the US until 1998. In the
recent renovation of the Border their work involved selecting among
the 10,000 plants in the collection which were of value and beauty to
be included in the Border, and which were invasive and toxic to be
removed.
They will share which plants made the cut, and why, and how home
gardeners can use some of these same principles to help them tackle
their own garden challenges.
