11:00 AM, Saturday, April 2nd
Mingling Herbs Beautifully with Ornamental Landscape Plants

Bob Hyland: Climate-Adapted Container Planting

12:30 PM, Saturday, April 2nd
Container Plants and Container Planting Styles for a Changing Climate, Summer-dry Period, and Wild Weather Extremes

Portland-based garden designer Bob Hyland will talk about a range of container plants and planting styles suited to our changing climate, summer-dry period, and wild weather extremes. Bob skillfully uses shrubs like Arctostaphylos (manzanita), Ceanothus (California lilac), Choisya (Mexican orange), Drimys (Mountain pepper), Fatsia, Mahonia, Pittosporum and architectural Agave, Aloe, Phormium (New Zealand flax), and Yucca, as building blocks in his container designs. Well-composed pots offer 4-season interest of foliage, bark, flowers, and fragrance and reduce irrigation needs during dry summer months.

About Bob: Bob Hyland is owner and principal of Hyland Garden Design and his pottery shop, Contained Exuberance. He is a former director and vice president of HPSO. You can learn more at his website, hylandgardendesign.com, and Instagram @hylandgardendesign

 

James Wilson: Adaptive Gardens

2:00 PM, Saturday, April 2nd
Urban and Suburban Gardening in Balance with Ecological and Human Interests

Gardening is creating beautiful alchemy between you, your home, your site conditions, your lifestyle and the climate and ecology of your location. James will discuss how planning plant communities enhances both the human experience of a garden as well as how the garden lives within its environment. Your garden can simultaneously be an ecologically beneficial landscape that is well-planned and beautiful throughout the seasons — and James will show you how.

About James: James Wilson is the owner and lead designer at Garden Stories, and is a licensed landscape contractor. His love of natural plant communities and local ecology of the Pacific Northwest greatly shapes and informs his design sensibilities.
