Fantastic opening day of the symposium! The morning presentation was Koen Camelbeke, director of Arboretum Wespelaar in Belgium, sharing about the history of the gardens there and their plant collections.
Fred Weisensee and Michelle Loughran of Dancing Oaks Nursery followed that up with sharing their favorite plants that grow well for them in Oregon but could also work further east.
After lunch, Ethan Kauffman of Stoneleigh, a historic estate with gardens just west of Philadelphia, talked about conservation efforts there and reimagining the grounds with native #plants. #gardens #horticulture
