Check out the line up for this year’s Garden and Landscape Symposium. The event is on April 20th, 2013 a the Hillman Center for Performing Arts.
These are some heavy hitters in the gardening world.
For selfish reasons, I’m most excited about Bill Thomas coming to town. He runs one of my favorite gardens, Chanticleer, near Philadelphia.
I profiled him in my documentery The Gardens of Pennsyvania. Just seeing Bill speak is worth the price of admission. Sign up soon, this will sell out.
Here’s a link to the video about Chanticleer.
This is the news release with details on the event.
