Plants with Stories to Tell - Carol Reese, U T Extension Service.
You walk past them every day. People may even scorn some of these plants. Mute, they cannot tell you of their usefulness, and the fascinating roles they played in the history of our nation. Some have incredible, even hilarious, stories of their interactions with other species. After Carol’s talk and beautiful slides, you’ll be able to speak for them and tell their wonderful stories to others.

WEEKEND GARDENING SEMINAR
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2nd
Have a landscaping problem. Just take a photo of the problem area in your yard or perhaps a friend or neighbor’s, include your description of the issue, and let the panel of landscape experts review and come up with a solution.
Al Cook will assist with the emailing of the photo(s): 901.373.7158 or al_nancy@comcast.net . Cell phone photos will not have the resolution necessary so we are requesting that you use a camera and send the file in jpg/jpeg format and use your name as name of the photo file. Please let us know the specific problem you would like to have the panel address. The photos need to be sent in by August 31( in color would be great).
The selected photos will be sent to each of the panelists so they can study them. They will be projected on a screen the day of the seminar for the audience to see the problem and then hear the panel present their solutions.

| Phoebe Cook Lecture: William Cullina - The Botany of Design |
The Dixon is pleased to welcome William E. Cullina as our 2010 Phoebe Cook lecturer. Bill is a former Director of Horticultural Research for the New England Wild Flower Society and is the current Director of Horticulture and Plant Curator for the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in Boothbay, Maine, one of North America’s newest public gardens that features 250 acres of forests and gardens (see www.mainegardens.org). Holding degrees in plant science and psychology, Bill has been working in plant propagation and nursery production for over 20 years. As a talented writer and nationally-recognized expert on North American native plants, he lectures on a variety of subjects to garden and professional groups.
Bill’s talk is entitled “The Botany of Design.” Using his latest book, Understanding Perennials, as the basis of his lecture, Bill Cullina tackles the thorny subject of garden design in a completely different way. In this fun and information-filled talk, he explores the reasons for big leaves, variegation, red foliage and flowers and ways to create more satisfying designs without breaking the budget. He looks at life beyond the color wheel, discusses the importance of healthy soil and reveals some of his best horticultural secrets while weaving together aesthetics, psychology, botany and ecology into a fascinating one hour ride. It is a talk that beginning gardeners as well as seasoned pros will both learn from and enjoy.
Take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to hear such a knowledgeable and experienced plant lover. A small number of his books (pictured below) will be available for purchase and signing by the author following his presentation. Find out more about William Cullina by visiting www.williamcullina.com. |

| Sugar, Sex and Poison: Shocking Plant Secrets: William Cullina |
| As we all know, plants are at the base of both the human and non-human food chain. Everything eats them directly or indirectly. They have evolved an incredible arsenal of chemicals, camouflage, spines, hairs and waxes to discourage herbivores. On the other hand, they expend a huge amount of their energy on pollen, nectar, edible fruits and sugary root exudates designed to attract and nourish animals, insects, fungi and bacteria so they can perform services such as pollination and defense. Strengthening this natural economy through sound horticultural and agricultural practices is in essence what the organic movement is all about. In this talk, Bill Cullina will show how this world of pollen, poisons, pigments, pheromones, sugars and sex translates to sound organic practices from which we can all benefit. $5. |
