Location: Haggerty Education Center
Please join us as David Culp describes how choosing native plants for your home landscape need not be a struggle between wanting to create a healthy and robust ecosystem and yearning for gorgeous plant combinations to create seasonal interest all year long. David will show us how to have the best of both worlds, building a perfect world of beauty for you and the essential wildlife around you to share.
David Culp is Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Cavano’s Perennials. He is also the creator of the gardens at Brandywine Cottage in Downingtown, Pennsylvania, which are listed in the Smithsonian Institution Archives of American Gardens. The gardens have been featured on television and numerous magazine publications. David is the principal of David L. Culp Designs, owner of the Galanthus Nursery, Brandywine Snowdrops, and the developer of the Brandywine Hybrid strain of hellebores. He has been lecturing about gardens nationwide for over 25 years, and teaches herbaceous perennials at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania.
Mr. Culp is the author of The Layered Garden (Timber Press), which won a Gold Medal from the Garden Writers Association for Best Overall Book of the Year. His second book, A Year at Brandywine Cottage: Six Seasons of Beauty, Bounty and Blooms (Timber Press), takes us further, detailing how more than 30 years creating this sensational year-round garden provides an abundance of joy, both indoors and out, whether it’s choosing plants for twelve months of interest, weaving edibles into the mix, or bringing the bounty indoors with simple arrangements and homegrown recipes.
A book sale and signing will follow the presentation.
Light refreshments will be served.
