June Upcoming Events

3rd @ 9:00 a.m. & 1:00 p.m.

Two excellent programs are scheduled for Tuesday, June 3rd at Garvan Woodland Gardens. Both are in the Magnolia Room and are free to the public. All persons interested in gardening are invited.


The first is at 9:00 a.m. will be presented by Larry Averill entitled "Coleus: The Victorian Favorite Returns in Elegant Splendor." Larry has presented programs on Coleus to many garden clubs and at the 2007 International Master Gardener Conference, The program will review types of Coleus, propagation methods, and maintenance requirements. A large number of Coleus varieties will be on display. All attendees will get cuttings for propagation purposes. A review and tour of the Garden’s Coleus varieties will follow the program. The program and tour will end by 11:30.


The second is at 1:00 p.m. will be presented by Linda Lanier. She will talk about "Hydrangea, Types, Care and Pruning." Linda Lanier was co founder of the Mid South Hydrangea Society in Memphis, Tennessee. She quickly became enamored with Hydrangeas and has spent a great deal of time studying and collecting the many varieties. She personally has a significant collection in her own yard. She has spoken frequently on the topic including programs at the 2006 Arkansas Flower and Garden Show, in Little Rock, and most recently at the 2008 Arkansas Master Gardener Advanced Training course on "Hydrangeas and Hosta," in Jonesboro. Her programs are informational, entertaining and chocked full of beautiful pictures of many kinds of Hydrangeas. A tour of the Garden’s Hydrangea collection will follow the program.
