Gardens of the World Part Two: Western European Wonders
In this six-week installment of “Gardens of the World” we will travel to some of my favorite gardens in France, Italy, Germany, and Spain. Come visit Claude Monet’s garden in Giverny France, beautiful island villa gardens of Northern Italy, some of the most stunning gardens along the Mediterranean, and so much more. As we tour these gardens, I’ll identify gardening lessons we can learn and apply in our own gardens!
Keep Hope Alive: Winter Bloom and Other Plants of Interest – Plantsmen’s Tour

Tour around the JC Raulston Arboretum’s grounds virtually as Doug shows us some of his favorite plants with winter interest.

Digital Photography Essentials Workshop for Nikon Photographers
This beginner class is for people with a Nikon digital camera who are interested in learning how to successfully use their camera beyond automatic/program modes. The class concentrates on the five essential camera settings that have the most impact on the look of a photograph: focal length, aperture, shutter speed, ISO and white balance. We also discuss how to interpret the image histogram, a camera feedback mechanism, and use that information to adjust and optimize image exposure for the next shot.
Koten Engei Symposium
Japan has had a profound influence on Western horticulture for the past 200 years or more. Many of our most popular landscape plants—azaleas, peonies, flowering cherries, hydrangeas, and so many more—were introduced from the gardens of Japan. In addition to plants, specialized horticultural techniques such as bonsai (which was itself introduced from China as penjing) and more recently ikebana have become quite popular in the United States. But perhaps the most uniquely Japanese horticultural tradition, known as koten engei, has never gained the popularity of these other art forms.
