Frederick Rice, noted horticultural speaker, garden designer and consultant with
nearly 30 years of experience throughout the Eastern United States, will make his
debut appearance in Indiana! His presentations will include:
Structure & Structures: Every garden stems from its bones. Learn how to
strengthen a garden's skeletal system by using walls, fences and other elements.
Rice will also discuss considerations when determining height, materials and
shapes.
Vines & Climbers—How and Where to Use Them: Do you have a small garden with
very little growing room? Maybe a pavilion or trellis to cover or an unsightly view
to screen? Consider the value of climbing or creeping plants. Climbers can provide
attractive and unusual solutions for challenging garden dilemmas.
