Janis McBrideJanis McBride: “The Gift of Orchids”
12pm Sunday

Orchids in bloom make such beautiful gifts, but most of them fail to survive. Janis McBride will demonstrate the step-by-step methods that will help you easily turn those gifts in to healthy, colorful, long-blooming orchids in your own home. Understanding how orchids naturally grow provides the basis for the crucial re-potting techniques that will be taught in a hands-on setting – bring your own gift orchid to be repotted.


Linda BeutlerLinda Beutler: “Some Like it Hot – Clematis for Full Sun and Hot Sites”
1:30pm Sunday

“Feet in the shade, head in the sun” is a useful generalization, but like most generalizations, it isn’t always true. There are a surprising number of clematis bred from species in hot summer climates that will not only survive, but thrive in hot spots and full sun. Rogerson Clematis Garden curator Linda Beutler shares the wide array of clematis that can do what you might not expect.
