Lewis & Clark Room

       Celebrating each season by bringing flowers and foliage inside deepens our appreciation of        nature. In this demonstration Suzy will explore the garden in all seasons, making beautiful        bouquets, wreaths, garlands, mock topiaries, candle cups, toppings for gifts and more.        Suzy’s demonstration will show you how to use a variety of plants from the garden in the        summer and especially the winter, as she discusses the wealth of material available in your        garden but not found in floral markets.

Claire Sawyers
"Creating the Authentic Garden to Nurture the Spirit"
       Why do some gardens, more thanothers, touch us with their beauty, make us feel good and        offer a sense of wonder? In this presentation, Claire shares her five principles that instill a        sense of authenticity to create a satisfying garden true to a specific place, time and culture.        It will become clear to you what belongs in a garden, what doesn’t belong and why. She        advises you to work with your own particular landscape rather than struggling against it,        capturing “a sense of place.” Her five steps cover integrating your entire landscape into a        coherent whole that is lovely, satisfying and yours: your home, your yard, your plants, your        mailbox, your garden shed, your driveway, your neighborhood. Work with natural materials.        Use “humble” materials. Be practical. Involve the visitor. Bring it all together, and therein,        nurture the spirit!

Stephanie Cohen
"The Maturing Garden: Easy Care Perennials from Summer to Fall"
       Everyone is enchanted by the spring garden; however, as the days become hotter and the        season becomes later, gardeners must chose good plants that are sustainable, easy to grow        and have different kinds of beauty. There are lots of choices, but Stephanie doesn’t like to        recommend plants on life support systems, a waste of valuable resources. This lecture will        include flowers, foliage and seed heads for interest late in the season. Stephanie does not        mince words about why she likes or dislikes certain plants. So don’t be surprised as the dirt        begins to fly!

Stephanie Cohen
"Flowering Shrubs: The Perfect Low Maintenance Companions for Perennials"
       Perennials play nicely with other plants. Shrubs are perennials’ best companions for adding        additional flower power, unique foliage, interesting bark, berries, and even great fall color. We        shall start in spring and end in fall so you can decide for which season you may want to        make additions to your garden. For both new gardeners and maturing gardeners, shrubs not        only add beauty, but also lower maintenance requirements and add structure. Every garden        needs some of these key players, according to Stephanie.

Suzy Bales
"The Garden in Winter"
       Ironically, winter is when we need color the most, but it is also the season least planned and        planted for color in our gardens. Although a lone flower blooming in a snowy bed can give the        heart a jolt, it’s the complementary combinations of plants that make a winter landscape        endearing. Winter is a fascinating season, a time to closely watch changes in plants. It is        when Suzy has seen miracles and been confounded by mysteries. Everything has a story to        tell and secrets to reveal, from the design of a snowflake and the patterns of frost, to the first        flowers piercing the cold ground and their blooms resting on a snowy pillow.

Rosalind Creasy
"Lecture: Edible Landscaping – The New American Garden"
       One of today’s gardening buzzwords is sustainable. You’d be hard put to find a more        sustainable landscape style than an organically grown edible garden. Rosalind Creasy,        pioneer in the field of edible landscaping and award-winning professional photographer, will        give a mouth-watering slide presentation stressing the beauty and practicality of edible        plants. Among the topics she will cover are an A to Z of her recommended beautiful edible        plants for Midwestern gardens, an overview of the wide variety of edible landscapes, as well        as the principles of landscape design particular to edibles.
