CANCELLED: Christianson's Nursery: Growing Proven Winners: Not as Simple as It Looks

PLEASE NOTE: THIS WORKSHOP HAS BEEN CANCELLED. The Proven Winners line of plants is known as the gold standard for garden performance – but it takes a lot of work to get them to that point. John Gaydos, head of product development for Proven Winners, based in Illinois, will take us on a trip around the world meeting the plant breeders and hearing stories of how plants come here, how long it takes and where they have been along the way. (Gaydos is a keynote speaker earlier this day at the National Garden Clubs 84th Annual Convention in Seattle; this way you don’t have to miss him if you couldn’t make it to the convention.) Reservations required (360-466-3821 or 800-585-8200); $5 class fee. www.christiansonsnursery.com.
