SUMMARY:Under Western Skies: Visionary Gardens from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Coast with Caitlin Atkinson\, Photographer
DESCRIPTION:From windswept deserts to misty seaside hills and verdant valleys\, the natural landscapes of the American West offer an astounding variety of climates for gardens. Under Western Skies features gardens from across the West that embrace and celebrate the very soul of the land on which they grow. We will take a photographic tour through these diverse gardens and look at the ecological and aesthetic choices garden creators are making\, examining the connections between people\, plants and place. \n  \n      \n      \nCaitlin Atkinson is a photographer of places\, spaces\, and all things botanical. She most recently conceived of and photographed the book Under Western Skies: Visionary Gardens from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Coast( Timber\, 2021). She was the photographer for the books Dry Gardens: High Style for Low Water Gardens and Designing with Palms\, among others. Her work has appeared in magazines: Gardens Illustrated\, Dwell\, Architectural Digest\, Elle Decor\, and Sunset. When not photographing gardens\, you can find her digging in her own patch of dirt. \nAll Photos by Caitlin Atkinson [http://caitlinatkinson.com/]

SUMMARY:Woodland Garden Plants at Hunting Brook Gardens with Jimi Blake
DESCRIPTION:Jimi will introduce you to his extensive woodland plant collection.  He will focus on choice woodlanders\, their growing conditions\, plant combinations\, propagation and succession planning in woodland gardens. \n   \nJimi started gardening as a young boy alongside his mother\, Kathleen\, a keen gardener. After leaving school\, he trained in the National Botanic Gardens of Ireland\, based in Glasnevin\, Dublin and then worked in several gardens and nurseries before landing his dream job. Hired to transform Airfield\, a 38-acre estate farm\, into a visitor destination\, Jimi was appointed head gardener at the age of twenty-one and given the freedom to hone his skills and find his individual planting style. After eleven happy years at Airfield\, he secured 20 acres of the family estate to create his own dream garden at Hunting Brook Gardens\, Co. Wicklow. Here Jimi grows and expands his plant collection and shares his passion for plants with other enthusiasts through courses\, workshops\, lectures\, and tours. When not at Hunting Brook\, Jimi travels the world to find plants\, meet people and be inspired by fresh ideas. \nThis recording will be sent within 48 hours and will be available for viewing by the registrant for four weeks.

SUMMARY:The Must-Read Gardening Books of the 1600s. The 1700s. The 1800s. with Brian Thompson
DESCRIPTION:What were the most popular English gardening books in the 1600s? The 1700s? The 1800s? Brian Thompson will introduce you to these early books from the collection of the Elisabeth C. Miller Library. Like the best garden books of today\, these provide basic techniques plus tips for growing the most robust flowers and vegetables\, while introducing the latest\, trendy plants with gorgeous pictures! \n   \nBrian has been curator of the Miller Library’s print collections\, including rare books\, for 18 years. He writes regular reviews in the NHS Garden Notes\, often dipping back in time to include classic writers and titles. The origins of this presentation began as an article he wrote for the Book Club of Washington four years ago.

SUMMARY:Conserving Washington’s Rare Native Plants with Wendy Gibble
DESCRIPTION:Eriogonum codium\, Umtanum Desert buckwheat \nWashington is home to a rich diversity of vascular plants\, with approximately 3\,100 species recorded in the state. While the iconic conifers of western Washington capture many visitors’ attention\, it is places like the Wenatchee Mountains\, Olympic Mountains and Columbia River Gorge that harbor the greatest diversity of plants\, including most of the 49 species of endemic plants found nowhere else in the world. In fact\, approximately 15% of the state’s native flora is considered rare and vulnerable to decline. With the continuing expansion of the state’s population\, degradation of habitat\, and changing weather patterns due to climate change\, these plants face an uncertain future. In this talk\, Wendy Gibble will present an overview of the conservation efforts to protect rare native plants by the Washington Rare Plant Care and Conservation (Rare Care) program at the UW Botanic Gardens and share current research on recovering and reintroducing the most imperiled species. \nThis recording will be sent within 48 hours and will be available for viewing by the registrant for four weeks. \n  \nWendy Gibble is the Manager of Conservation and Education at the University of Washington Botanic Gardens. In her 17 years with the program\, she has conducted research on rare plant ecology\, overseen the seed banking program\, and propagated rare plants for out plantings. She completed her master’s thesis in plant ecology at the University of Washington.
