Re: Lectures by Lee Reich

Those in the upper Midwest may be interested to know that I will be speaking at Olbrich Gardens in October, as follows:

Oct. 9, 2005, 6:30-8:30 pm: Pomona's Secrets: Hardy Delectable, Pest-free Fruits
Meet some fruits, such as shipova, medlar, Nanking cherry, and lingonberry, that are not well-known, but have delectable flavors and are easy to grow and are cold-hardy. The fruits covered are generally free of pest problems, so can be grown without spraying. Many require no more than a little, or no, pruning. And if that's not enough: some of the fruits covered -- hardy kiwifruit, juneberry, and cornelian cherry, for example -- are borne on ornamental plants so are perfect for “edible landscaping.”


Oct. 10, 2005, 6:30-8:30 pm: Specialized Pruning Techniques (Pollards, Pleaches, Standards, & Espaliers)
A slide lecture about pleaching, pollarding, and creating standards and espaliers. These four pruning techniques make a bold statement in the landscape and have a practical side as well. We will cover the ornamental and practical uses of these techniques, the steps involved in creating them, and the plants appropriate for such techniques.
