“The perennial garden at the Bellevue Botanical Garden is considered one of the best in the state. We’ll walk the garden, identifying and talking about many of the coolest perennials, shrubs and trees.  I’ll tell stories about some of my favorites, talk about how to grow them successfully and there will be plenty of time for questions.  Be warned, however, that I do throw Brussels sprouts at anyone who stumps me!”
