Winter Lectures
Winter seems to get shorter every year, which is a problem for gardeners, who gratefully use the winter months to clean tools, plan for new plantings, place plant and seed orders and, of course, read and study. This winter there are a number of interesting lectures that are well worth marking down on your calendars.
At the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx, you can sign up for two different series: the seventh annual American Gardening series on February 16 and March 16, from 10am-12pm; or the series on the American Landscape:Ideals, Influences, Innovations, which includes lectures on February 13, March 13 and April 3.
On February 15 from 8:45am-3:30pm, Atlantic Nurseries will be sponsoring Creating Great Gardens at the C.W. Post Campus in Brookville, New York. Speakers include the renowned horticulturist Allan Armitage. For information, call 631-586-6242.
Lastly, Wave Hill has two more lectures in its 2006 Horticultural Lecture series--one on February 22 by Topher Delaney and the other on March 22 by Bunny Williams, both taking place from 6:30-8pm at the New York School of Interior Design, 170 East 70th Street, Manhattan. For telephone reservations and tickets, call 718-549-3200 x216.
