China - Its Flora, Frustrations, and Future Prospects for American Gardens
(Special Event)
China, the Mother of Gardens, is the center of diversity for many species of plants cultivated in our gardens. With over 30,000 species, China is both a storehouse and driver of genetic diversity. Modern-day plant hunters and plant breeders tap into this diversity to develop new ornamentals with novel traits and pest and disease resistances. Dr. Richard Olsen, of the United States National Arboretum, will discuss his recent trip to China, the research conducted, the plant species seen, and the implications for American horticulture. Dr. Olsen is a research scientist and one of the top plantsmen in the country. You don't want to miss this!
Please note: space is limited and pre-registration is REQUIRED! Use the form on the Hahn Horticulture Garden events web page, or contact Stephanie Huckestein.
