Join us Thursday!“New Perennials: A Love Story”withDeborah Chud7:00 pm on ZoomFREE for members, $10 non member donation“New Perennials: A Love Story” is a personal introduction to the design principles of the New Perennialists, who gave rise to the hottest gardening trend in the world today—naturalistic landscaping. In the US, their influence can be seen in New York’s High Line, Chicago’s Lurie Garden, the Oudolf Meadow at Delaware Botanic Gardens, and Oudolf Garden Detroit. Deborah Chud’s six years of research on these gardens led to her own highly unusual New Perennial garden and the only known database of New Perennial plant combinations. Her talk is part memoir, part history, and part design theory–with some practical “dos and don’ts” for gardeners at every level. Deborah Chud is a retired Massachusetts physician turned garden maker, consultant and educator. In the fall of 2020, she presented her work as part of “Piet Oudolf: How Does He Do It?”–an international event organized by Piet Oudolf’s co-author, Noel Kingsbury, under the aegis of gardenmasterclass.org. She has also presented to members of the following institutions and organizations: Massachusetts Horticultural Society, Harvard’s Arnold Arboretum, the United States Botanical Garden in Washington, D.C., the Ecological Landscape Alliance, the Northwest Perennial Alliance, Toronto Botanical Garden, and Delaware Botanic Gardens.

Grafting Dwarf Conifers
Join horticulturist Kevin Wilcox as he teaches you how to successfully graft dwarf conifers. Our program starts with a short slide presentation, followed by participants preparing, cutting and wrapping the grafted conifer. Different conifer cultivars will be provided for people to graft, with selections from Oriental, Serbian, Norway and White spruces.
Attendees are welcome to bring selections of their own to try grafting (bring up to two year’s growth, not an entire large branch). Please bring a pair of hand pruners.
At this point, only spruce understock is available, and if others become available, scions for grafting will be provided. Depending on how many people join us, we will graft at least one plant each, with more seedlings for people to take and try at home.
Limit 20 people. Hurry! Spaces will fill up quickly!
| Space is limited in the workshop, so register early. If the workshop fills up, we can put you on our waiting list and contact you if a space opens. Contact Mary Anna at 860-529-8713 or email her at office@cthort.org. |
