January 9, 2023 – “Woodland Treasures for Shady Gardens”
Presenter: Tony Reznicek, Curator (retired) University of Michigan Herbarium
Much of Michigan was covered by the great deciduous forests of eastern North America, and gardening in the shade is common in Michigan yards. Many eastern North American deciduous forest understory species are familiar to gardeners and adapt well to our gardens. However, great sweeps of deciduous forests occur in two other places in the world. Deciduous trees dominate large parts of Europe (extending slightly in an attenuated form into adjacent western Asia), and the great center for forest diversity worldwide is temperate eastern Asia, centered on China, Korea and Japan. Both these areas, and especially China and Japan, offer unique elements for woodland gardens, including species that bloom exceptionally early (important after a Michigan Winter!) and species that offer color in the summer and fall, when our forests are typically devoid of flowers. Join Tony Reznicek, Curator (retired) of the University of Michigan’s Herbarium in a look at the best woodland plants for gardens from Michigan and eastern North America and look at species from elsewhere in the world that bring additional interest and value to the woodland garden. Registration deadline: January 29, 2023. Register for the series any time before that date. If you register and cannot attend or have missed a live webinar, you will receive the recording of all the sessions. Recordings will be open until June 1, 2023
