Speaker: Colston Burrell, Lecturer, garden designer, author, photographer

The best part of the gardening year begins as the asters are fading. The onset of winter brings a respite from heat, and signals the start of a season filled with berried branches and seductive silhouettes. Decorative elements and artful planting conspire to provide places to grow myriad winter-blooming plants such as daphnes, hellebores, and minor bulbs.

This lecture focuses on the unique challenges of creating interest with both living and built elements and presents a variety of approaches to add texture, color and fragrance to the unsung season.
