Two Days of Trees
Trees, of course, are the backbone of any landscape design, and no better place to learn about them than Mount Vernon, where some of the big ones planted by George Washington himself still survive.
The American Horticultural Society is hosting a two-day seminar at Mount Vernon April 10-11, "Trees of the American Landscape." It's an opportunity to learn about tree care, preservation, and restoration, and also the value of trees in the landscape and characteristics of the next generation of landscape trees.
Guest lecturers include landscape architect and arborist Guy Sternberg of Starhill Forest Arboretum; Tom Smiley of Bartlett Tree Research Laboratories; noted tree enthusiast Mike Hayman; Tony Aiello of the Morris Arboretum, and Holli Howard of Casey Trees, a non-profit organization that is restoring the tree canopy in Washington DC.
CEU's will be awarded to members of APLD.
