"The History of Gardening: How Cultures, Events, and People Made Gardening What It Is Today"

Presented by Bryce Lane, NC State University

Who is considered the father of American Horticulture and why? How did the greenhouse get it’s start? How did the tulip end up in Holland? Come join us as we learn about the historical events, people, and cultures that helped to make gardening what it is today. There are countless stories about how plants were discovered, gardening techniques invented, and new ideas conceived. By deepening our understanding and appreciation for garden history, we will, in turn, be better gardeners ourselves!
