Please join us in welcoming our new Executive Director, George Lasch, to the PlantAmnesty family!

                            

  

George is known by many at PlantAmnesty for his passion for plants, the " The Good, the Bad and the Why Bother" series of lectures he does for the Master Gardeners, the Hydrangea Pruning lecture that he gave at our recent PlantAmnesty Prune-A-Thon, and his guided PlantAmnesty walking tour through the Bellevue Botanical Gardens.

George comes to us with a strong and diverse horticultural background.
George has recently guided the major renovation and re-growing of the famed Northwest Perennial Alliance Border at the Bellevue Botanical Gardens.
