Pursuing the Wild: The Sichuan Botanical Expedition
May 23, 2013 (doors open at 6:30 pm; lecture 7:00-9:00 pm) | David Lam Auditorium, MacLaurin building A144
Join the Friends of Finnerty Gardens for an evening of botanical discovery as Sue Milliken and Kelly Dodson of Far Reaches Farm present on their 2012 plant hunting expedition to Sichuan, China. The search for new species of rhododendrons, shrubs and perenials was a fascinating trek that included fellow explorers Steve Hootman of the Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden and Peter Cox, legendary plant hunter.
This presentation will appeal to the casual gardener, the serious plant aficionado and everyone with a love of adventure.
