A webinar presented by Richard Hawke. Richard Hawke is the Director of Ornamental Plant Research at the Chicago Botanic Garden and has managed the plant evaluation program since 1985. According to Richard, “New is important—as gardeners it is what excites and makes us drool over nursery catalogs and gardening magazines every winter. Unfortunately, being new does not necessarily mean good.” Richard has spent his career trialing plants; many new plants are tested every year at the Chicago Botanic Garden for their overall performance. He has become a much-in-demand speaker and writer for gardeners seeking his proven expertise. Richard will share information about his favorite new plants. Time: 10:00am - 11:30am PST.$10.50 BBGS members/$15 non-members. This lecture will take place only online on the Zoom platform. The lecture will be recorded. Registrants will have access to the recording for two weeks.
