Understanding and Growing Ericaceous Plants

Almost every landscape in southern New England contains at least a few rhododendrons, laurels, or azaleas. With acidic, forested soils and a moderate, moist climate, our region is well suited for many members of the heath family (Ericaceae), and we have one of the most diverse assemblages of species anywhere in North America. In this in-depth seminar, Bill Cullina showcases all of the eastern species from Arctostaphylos to Zenobia, detailing their ecology, form, cultivation, and landscape uses. The day concludes with a tour of Garden in the Woods’ outstanding collection, much of which will be in full bloom. Includes morning coffee, snacks, and lunch.
