Landscapes that Save the World: The Importance of Biodiversity in the Garden - Garden Lecture Series

Our November garden lecture series on Saturday, November 8, features renowned gardener Bryce Lane. When it comes to plants in the landscape, there is strength in diversity. This talk focuses on why it is important to create biodiverse outdoor spaces, and what we can do to achieve that goal. Topics include “plant blindness’, attracting wildlife, soil building, turf grass management, native plants, and more!

Bryce discovered his passion for plants and telling others about them while working at a small Massachusetts garden center throughout high school and college. After earning his BS and MS in Horticulture, he came to the Department of Horticultural Science at NC State University as an Instructor and Undergraduate Teaching Coordinator. He spent thirty-four years teaching and advising over 20,000 students, and for eleven seasons he hosted and produced the three-time Emmy winning, UNC TV public television show “In the Garden With Bryce Lane.”

This lecture begins at 10:30 am in Cullman Performance Hall at the North Carolina History Center. FREE to attend! Donation suggested. For more information, www.tryonpalace.org.
