Green Works Event – A Day and Evening with Adrian Bloom
Come spend the day or evening
University of Vermont
Davis Center
This event will intrigue and excite gardeners to think more creatively about perennials and grasses and how to use them in the year round garden, particularly with other plants. As chairman of Blooms Nurseries, Ltd., near Norfolk, England, Adrian Bloom has personally introduced many American gardeners to the unique varieties of perennials for which he and his father, Alan (1906-2005) are internationally known.
Adrian Bloom has travelled the world looking for new plants, as well as lecturing all around the world. He holds the Royal Horticultural Society’s coveted Victoria Medal of Honour for service to horticulture.
Green Works is pleased to host Adrian Bloom during his visit to Vermont.
Join us at University of Vermont, Davis Center
10:30 – 11:30 am – Lecture
Adrianʼs theme for his morning lecture is based on his new book, Blooms Best Perennials and Grasses: Expert Plant Choices and Dramatic Combinations for Year Round Gardens. This presentation is geared toward both the expert and beginner gardener, giving some novel ideas on design and use of plants to fit every size garden. His belief that ʻless is moreʼ is the key in the selection of plants.
11:30 – 1pm – Book signing and lunch
1:00 – 2:00 pm – Lecture
Creating drama across Continents, Adrianʼs second lecture will offer some amusing historical images of the road that led to Bressingham Garden plantings at Elm Bank, headquarters of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society followed by a question and answer session.
