Garden Talks
We are
often asked to speak at garden clubs and various other
organizations. We appreciate this opportunity to spread the
word about the joys of gardening! We feel that we have a lot
of information to share and welcome meeting people interested in
gardening.
Most
of the photos used in our presentations have been taken here at
Point Phillip Perennials. The remainder have been taken as we
visit gardens.
The
topics that we are now presenting include:
Bringing Scotland Home: A tour through gardens of Scotland to
see which of their beautiful plants grow well here. This is
a result of a 2 week trip to Scotland.
Gardens of Southwest England: Showcases gardens and plants
seen on a two week trip to England.
Perennials through the Seasons: An overview of the
plants blooming at Point Phillip from early spring through late
fall. The talk includes special characteristics and required
growing conditions.
Planting Native Nooks: In this talk we have designed
eight small gardens using native plants. Each of the eight
design discussions includes the special characteristics and
required growing conditions. A handout of the eight gardens
is included.
Right Plant, Right Place: This talk addresses the subject of
matching plants to their environment - especially the amount of
moisture and sunlight available.
Seed Propagation: This presentation addresses growing
plants from seed.
Shrubs to Enhance your Perennial Garden: An overview of
shrubs and small trees that we use in our gardens at Point
Phillip. The talk includes special characteristics and required
growing conditions.
Super Hardy Plants for the Poconos: Discusses plants
that thrive in a colder climate.
Fees: If we are speaking within a 20 mile radius of the
nursery there is no fee. If we travel beyond that, the fee
depends on the distance traveled.
