EDWARDS LECTURES 2010 Inspiration, Expertise, Advice
by Webmaster

The Toronto Botanical Gardens searched the world to bring the best of the best – in expertise, in advice and, most importantly, in inspiration.  

BDHS is pleased to provide information about this and other programs during our "timeout" from meetings.  Check the website often for other winter activities to satisfy your dormant gardening urges.

An Adventure in Green Gardening - Matthew Wilson (UK)
Wednesday, February 17, 7:30 p.m.
Lectures are held in the Floral Hall, Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

Matthew Wilson is often referred to by the British Press as the "Heathcliff of the Hedgerows", because of the handsome gardener's popularity on a variety of BBC gardening shows.

But Wilson is not just a pretty face. His love of gardening and the environment had an early start: his parents owned a small nursery in Kent, where he worked with his father on some of England's best gardens.

He worked with the Royal Horticultural Society for 10 years, most recently as Head of Gardens Creative Development for all four RHS gardens. A journalist and author, he is a regular columnist for "Country Life" magazine and the author of the award-winning "New Gardening; How to Garden in a Changing Climate".

In this world-class lecture, Wilson will discuss the issues facing gardeners today and in the future: water efficiency, plant choices, carbon reduction, and gardens in their relation to local wildlife.

Admission:
FREE for Members of TBG or Reciprocal Gardens. 
Public $20
Students (with valid ID) $15
Door sales only. Limited seating.
