SUMMARY:Squaring the Circle on Biodiversity and Aesthetics in the Development of a New Garden with James Hitchmough
DESCRIPTION:Lecture Description in James’ own (lightly edited) words: \nMy professional life has run parallel with extensive UK Research Council-funded research into what lives in UK gardens. It had long been assumed invertebrates are hard-wired to prefer native plant species\, but research shows that our gardens are actually extremely rich in native invertebrates\, despite the fact that most gardens contain many non-native plants. Invertebrate diversity is richest where gardens are most spatially and taxonomically complex\, so gardening ambition drives greater richness. The realization that as gardeners\, we are wardens of our very own nature reserves has come as something of a shock\, and has raised questions about how one should balance nature conservation with the traditional aesthetic values of gardens. In this talk I will discuss how I have approached this in my own\, relatively new 2.5 acre garden in rural Somerset. \nSpeaker’s Bio: \nAfter receiving his Ph.D. from the University of Bath in 1984\, James held a lectureship in environmental horticulture at the University of Melbourne\, where he worked for 10 years and conducted research into nature-like plant communities as an urban form. He then spent 27 years teaching and researching in the Department of Landscape Architecture at the University of Sheffield. He retired in September 2022 and was named professor emeritus. \nJames has worked as a consultant on landscape projects around the world\, often using these experiences to translate his research into practice and policy. With Nigel Dunnett he was lead planting designer at the London Olympic Park (2007-14)\, following the publication of the first edition of “The Dynamic Landscape” (2004)\, a seminal text on the application of nature-like planting to the urban realm.  After 2010 he focused on projects in China\, often in collaboration with Chinese government agencies to advance the use of local native species in large scale nature-like design projects. James designed the first native woodland garden in China at Lotus Lake\, Beijing\, the acclaimed New Silk Road Garden at the Beijing International Expo\, and the planting of the Monet Garden in Chengdu. Since retiring\, James has been engaged in major design and management projects in the UK and internationally. He is a sought-after writer and speaker and was recently appointed to the RHS Council for a five-year term.

SUMMARY:Planting Designs from a Mediterranean Nursery Garden in Southwestern France
DESCRIPTION:In 2016\, UK horticulturalists Imogen Checketts and Kate Dumbleton broke ground on their property in southwestern France to create Le Jardin Champêtre. Since then\, it has become a highly regarded demonstration garden\, nursery and design practice infused with their love of the local scrubby garrigue landscape. Noel Kingsbury lavishly profiled Le Jardin for Gardens Illustrated and it’s featured in master garden photographer Claire Takacs’ book about some of the world’s most innovative and climate-smart gardens\, Visionary: Gardens and Landscapes for Our Future. \nChecketts and Dumbleton’s plant palette and design approach are naturalistic\, ecologically based and tailored to thrive year-round in the Mediterranean climate – once established\, plants receive little to no irrigation and low maintenance is key. The designers will share their most successful plant combinations\, both native and nonnative\, which include grasses\, perennials\, shrubs\, bulbs\, ground covers and lawn alternatives\, and how to layer them for maximum visual and ecological effect. \nThe Pacific Northwest climate is often described as Mediterranean; as summers become drier and hotter\, there are many lessons to be gleaned from the plantings and principles of Le Jardin Champêtre. Some plants will be familiar: achillea\, eriogonum\, miscanthus\, phlomis\, salvia\, stipa…but prepare to discover new ones\, some of which might very well enhance your own landscape. \nSpeakers’ Bios: \nKate Dumbleton studied horticulture at Nottingham Trent University’s Brackenhurst College\, where she won the student of the year award. Prior to that\, she earned a Master’s degree in French\, and worked in social research and project development for cultural heritage projects\, local food initiatives and environmental programs. She also qualified in permaculture design and was an active member of Ecoworks community gardens\, St. Ann’s Community Orchard and the Friends of Brackenhurst’s Victorian Walled Garden. \nImogen Checketts has two degrees: horticulture and garden design and landscape and heritage. She was head gardener at Pensthorpe Wildlife and Gardens in Norfolk\, where she designed and built the Wave Line Garden\, the Wildlife Habitat Garden\, and worked alongside Piet Oudolf to redesign and replant his first UK public project\, the original Millennium Garden. Imogen is an accomplished linocut artist and her horticultural interests include mixed perennial and grass planting\, planting for wildlife and dry gardens\, as well as woodland habitats and edible gardening. \n \n \n

SUMMARY:Trees and Shrubs for Small Gardens at the Miller Garden (SOLD OUT)
DESCRIPTION:Head Gardener Del Brummet will dive deep into the Miller Garden’s famed woody plant collection. The garden’s space is at a premium and plants need to earn their place in the garden. Though the garden has several acres\, it is amazing how quickly it starts to fill to the brim…especially when the original owner was an avid plant collector! Let’s look at plants which can grow in small spaces or are good at growing below other plants in a layered canopy\, with a focus on narrow plants and those which grow slowly and add an appealing diversity and texture to the landscape. \nDel became interested in plants through hiking and building trails with the Washington Trails Association. He graduated from the University of Washington in 2014 with a B.S. in biology and now works as head gardener at the Elizabeth C. Miller Botanical Garden. Del has taught classes through NHS in native and exotic plants\, propagation\, seasonal interest and continues to learn and contribute to the organization through its education programming.  \n$25 of each registrant’s fee will be remitted to Great Plant Picks.

SUMMARY:Meet the Designer: Susan Calhoun Tour — Bainbridge Island and Indianola (SOLD OUT)
DESCRIPTION: Local landscape designer Susan Calhoun — whose recent NHS webinars on grasses and shade plants you may have enjoyed — will treat us to on-site visits to four of her gardens on Bainbridge Island and the Kitsap Peninsula\, including her own personal one. Starting in Bainbridge Island at Arrow Point\, we first visit a “forest getaway” with a luscious shade garden surrounding a modern home with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the Olympics. The beds combine native salal\, huckleberry and ferns with more cultivated plants for a quintessential Pacific Northwest landscape. Next we head north to Port Madison where Susan performed a deep redesign to create a magical space for a family wedding. The result: a picture-perfect lawn for the ceremony\, graced by a shade garden on one side and fruit trees and a vegetable garden on the sunny side. Susan’s own 3.5 acre garden in Indianola is our next stop and we’ll enjoy lunch here (choose your meal option during registration). When she bought the property in 2015\, it was nothing but lawn\, blackberry\, horsetail and overgrown trees. Since then\, she has brought much to life: a streamside garden\, a shade garden\, a large grass garden and productive vegetable beds. She is experimenting with a bulb meadow under white birch trees\, a wildflower meadow and a rose garden. Our final stop is nearby: A south-facing modern house that looks towards Mt Rainier. Here Susan developed a fabulous beach garden\, using the owner’s narrow color palette and many plants from nearby Windcliff Nursery. Grasses\, yarrow and agapanthus abound alongside drought-tolerant salvias\, rosemary and unusual shrubs that offer structure and privacy. \nWe will meet on Bainbridge Island and end in Indianola. Addresses will be sent to registrants a few days in advance. Coming from Seattle you will take the Bainbridge ferry in the morning and the Kingston/Edmonds on return (or return back to Bainbridge and take that ferry). Carpooling is encouraged. \nGuide’s Bio: \nSusan Calhoun is a landscape designer\, writer and speaker with over 25 years of experience gardening in our shade-rich region. Based on Bainbridge Island\, she is the owner and principal designer of Plantswoman Design. She received her horticultural training at South Seattle College and RHS Garden Harlow Carr in the UK. Susan’s work has been featured in Sunset\, Fine Gardening\, Monrovia’s Be Inspired blog and many other national and local publications. She is a frequent speaker and contributor to the Northwest Flower & Garden Festival\, having created award-winning gardens for many years.

SUMMARY:Free Members Meet the Board Tour at Nine Private Gardens in South and West Seattle
DESCRIPTION:Your NHS Board looks forward to welcoming you to a free\, in-person event: a self-guided tour of nine unique private gardens that showcase our region’s range of talent and vision. At least one board member will be at each garden\, which are owned by a combination of board members and members. Three of these gardens were recently profiled in the Seattle Times Pacific NW Magazine (indicated by *). \nThis event is free to members\, who are welcome to bring one non-member guest. Please register if you are planning to attend. Garden addresses and details will be sent a few days before the event. \nSouth Seattle \nCasa Nirvana in historic Mt. Baker is a tapestry garden ingeniously landscaped on a sloped site above street level. A parade of striking foliage and unusual specimens from specialty nurseries on both coasts is punctuated with thoughtfully placed sculpture. Learn more here. \nThe Garden of Exuberant Refuge in Seward Park flouts convention and invites wonder with a show-stopping 4800 taxa\, many of which are from the Southern hemisphere. This revelatory landscape has been created over 30 years thanks to great wit\, deep botanical knowledge and global exploration. \nWest Seattle \nThis small garden doubles as a living workshop and thrums with color\, texture\, movement and good flavors. Shades of orange\, rust\, amber and brown dominate\, with the occasional dash of hot pink and violet. Ornamental grasses and evergreens lend structure and frame perennials and edible crops. \nInspired by Kyoto gardens of the early 20th century\, this tranquil and transporting garden features a flowing series of changing vistas filled with unusual Asian shrubs and perennials\, along with uncommon selections of familiar garden favorites. \n*A striking drought-tolerant landscape\, where full-sun plants thrive in islands surrounded by crushed gravel pathways. Many species are labeled so visitors can glean inspiration for their own drought-tolerant spaces. \n*A whimsical cottage garden centers wildlife-friendly\, sustainable practices. This no-turf site is an homage to Pacific Northwest native plants and is filled with natural stonework\, bug hotels\, varieties of branch fencing\, gnome homes and a chicken palace. \n*A very mature garden filled with graceful old trees\, shrubs\, ferns and new introductions. Wander the bark paths\, sit in the shade arbor and appreciate the vegetable garden\, a 35-year old blueberry plant and stately lion’s head maples. \nBombdiggity Gardens’ rear garden ascends up a series of stairs and terrace walls\, creating various seating areas\, each with its own microclimate. The sound of a fountain\, along with hardy banana\, palm\, and edibles like persimmon\, kiwi and fig create a sense of escape to warmer\, far-away lands. \nAn inviting combo of food and ornamental plants delivers maximum pollinator power\, minimal maintenance and room for all creatures great and small\, including children and chickens. Embodying Doug Tallamy’s homegrown national park concept\, it is a certified pollinator garden through The Xerces Society.
