SUMMARY:Tour of Farmhouse Flower Farm in Stanwood
DESCRIPTION:Join NHS for a tour of Farmhouse Flower Farm in Stanwood\, Washington\, and hear the story of the family farm from farmer Marryn Mathis. When Marryn discovered flower farming\, she fell in love with the idea of showing her children the joy of digging in the dirt\, being outside\, and growing beauty. She and her family took the leap\, sold their home in the suburbs\, bought the farm\, and became flower farmers.\nFarmhouse Flower Farm specializes in dahlia tubers\, flower seeds\, sweet pea seeds\, anemone\, and ranunculus corms. Marryn offers a Sweet Pea School Workshop\, and a book on sweet peas is due to be published in 2025. You will go home with a bouquet of dahlias created for you by Marryn. \n‘There’s nothing like seeing the smile on someone’s face when you hand them fresh flowers from the farm\, flowers that we’ve grown and nurtured\, now bringing joy and happiness to others. It’s hard work\, but it’s good work. So here we are\, our little family – growing a life we love and making a difference in the soul of our community one beautiful bloom at a time\,’ – Marryn \nHost Bio:\nMarryn Mathis and her family run a small family flower farm in Stanwood\, Washington. She always loved flowers and gardening\, but it took 20 years of working in healthcare and IT to finally realize what truly fed her soul—being among the flowers. She came alive and found her true passion when she discovered flower farming. \nLIMIT:  30 (MAXIMUM 2 PER REGISTRATION) – FEE IS PER PERSON

SUMMARY:The Tree Collectors: Tales of Arboreal Obsession with Amy Stewart
DESCRIPTION:When Amy Stewart discovered a community of tree collectors\, she expected to meet horticultural fanatics driven to plant every species of oak or maple. But she also discovered that the urge to collect trees springs from something deeper and more profound: a longing for community\, a vision for the future\, or a path to healing and reconciliation. \nIn this  talk\, Stewart introduces audiences to several of the remarkable people she met from around the world whose lives were transformed by their relationships to trees. Accompanied by her own hand-drawn illustrations of people and their trees\, this talk inspires audiences to reconsider their own connections to trees–and maybe start a collection! \nSpeaker Bio:\nAmy Stewart is the New York Times best-selling author of the The Tree Collectors\, The Drunken Botanist\, Wicked Plants\, and several other popular nonfiction titles about the natural world. She’s also written several novels in her beloved Kopp Sisters series\, which are based on the true story of one of America’s first female deputy sheriffs and her two rambunctious sisters. \nHer books have sold over a million copies worldwide and have been translated into 18 languages. \nShe lives in Portland with her husband Scott Brown\, a rare book dealer who can usually be found at his shop\, Downtown Brown Books. \nRecording will be available for 4 weeks.

SUMMARY:Planting Trees like You Mean it: Essential Practices for the First Five Years with Christina Pfeiffer
DESCRIPTION:Trees are often considered to be the backbone of a garden. They can impart a distinct visual character to urban spaces. Trees are often planted as an act to help improve the environment and as a legacy for future generations. To reap those benefits\, trees must survive for the long haul. Yet\, faulty planting practices that limit tree survival are alarmingly common. Considering the time and resources that go into growing nursery trees\, well-intentioned tree planting efforts may actually produce negative results when those trees are incorrectly planted or poorly cared for. \nSome of the smallest details in planting and early care can make the biggest difference in tree longevity and performance. Drawing from current research\, years of planting experience\, and diagnostics of post-planting tree failures\, Christina will share the most essential practices for planting\, aftercare\, and pruning young trees. What’s the best way to prepare the planting hole? How should different root ball wrappings be handled? Is root pruning necessary? Should newly planted trees be pruned? What about staking? How much water do new trees need? And when is a new tree considered ‘established’? \nFall is an ideal time of year for tree planting. Join us for this timely discussion of what to do and what to avoid so that the next trees you plant are poised to thrive long into the future. \nSpeaker Bio:\nChristina Pfeiffer is a horticulture educator and ISA Certified Arborist® who has enjoyed a long career in landscape horticulture.  She brings practical experience and attention to current research to her presentations.  Christina is co-author with Mary Robson of Pacific Northwest Month-by-Month Gardening. \nRecording will be available for 3 weeks.

SUMMARY:The Art of Fern Propagation at the Elisabeth C. Miller Botanical Garden with Dennis Beatty - AM
DESCRIPTION:It’s no secret that there’s a slight infatuation with ferns at the Elisabeth C. Miller Botanical Garden. What you may not know\, however\, is that through a partnership with the Hardy Fern Foundation\, we’ve been starting ferns from spores en masse over the last five years for the HFF’s production and distribution programs. Join gardener Dennis Beatty for a detailed look into this rewarding propagation method.\nIn this class\, you’ll learn how to collect and store spores\, techniques for creating the ideal environment for spore germination\, and a brief overview of the unique lifecycle of ferns. We’ll tour some of the garden’s fern collection and take an in-depth look at the different growing spaces we utilize from spore to sporeling. We’ll also discuss other propagation methods you can use at home to fill your garden with fronds. \nInstructor Bio: \nDennis Beatty is a gardener at the Elisabeth C. Miller Botanical Garden\, former Program and Nursery Manager of the Hardy Fern Foundation\, and former Program Administrator for the Northwest Horticultural Society. He made the leap from engineering to horticulture in 2017 when he attended Edmonds College and received degrees in Landscape Design\, Ornamental Horticulture – Nursery and Greenhouse\, and Sustainable Landscape Management. In his free time\, he loves hiking\, visiting gardens of all shapes and sizes\, and going on road trips with his wife and son. \nLIMIT: 15 (MAXIMUM 2 PER REGISTRATION) – FEE IS PER PERSON \nA portion of the class fees will be donated to the Great Plant Picks program.

SUMMARY:Trial and Error: Propagation of Seed and Spore with Del Brummet
DESCRIPTION:From the use of fire and boiling water to the impact of freezing cold temperatures propagation can be very interesting. We will take a look at a handful of plants propagated from seed and spore at the Elisabeth Miller Botanical garden and investigate what methods work best and why. We will also look at cuttings and you should come away with ideas of how to improve a home propagation set up as well as how to collect seed and spore. \nSpeaker Bio:\nDel Brummet got interested in plants through hiking and building trails in high school. While working on a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology at the University of Washington he worked in a Terrestrial Ecology lab which had a focus on seed propagation research. Through propagating dozens of different native species from seed he got interested in the mechanisms which keep seeds dormant and the conditions which favor germination. An internship at Elisabeth Miller Botanical Garden just north of Seattle lead to working in and learning from the small but diverse plant nursery in the garden. Currently Del works as the head gardener at Elisabeth Miller Botanical Garden still collecting seeds and growing plants from cuttings. \nRecording will be available for 4 weeks.
