SYMPOSIUM SPEAKERS
DOUG TALLAMY, Creating Living Landscapes.
Once you have persuaded clients to share the garden with other species, how do professional horticulturists and landscape designers go about doing that? Can we bring life into urban areas? Can we reconstruct complex food webs in gardens? How can we get more native plants into the landscape without it looking wild and messy? Will living landscapes be more prone to insect damage and vermin? Are they higher maintenance? Tallamy will answer these questions and more to help you design and maintain gardens and landscapes that are a fascinating part of nature. Tallamy co-authored with Rick Darke the 2014 book The Living Landscape and the best-selling 2007 book, Bringing Nature Home.

RUTH CLAUSEN, Essential Native Perennials.
What native perennial species and nativars are "must-have" in your garden designs? Clausen was co-author of the definitive reference guide, Perennials for American Gardens, published in 1989. Twenty-five years later, Clausen and co-author Thomas Christopher, have updated that work in Essential Perennials that highlights 2700 perennials for the home garden. This book will be published in January 2015 just in time for sales and author signings at Plant-O-Rama. In her talk, Ruth will highlight native perennials harvested from the new book and help you decide exactly which plants will bring the beauty you want, thrive in the conditions you can provide, attract beneficial wildlife, and contribute significantly to complex food chains.
