Conifer Walk

What is a conifer and how do we use these plants in our landscapes? Join horticulturist and Hort Farm Conifer Curator Paul Wieczoreck to discuss these and other questions on a tour of the Conifer Collection. You'll spend the morning looking at the variety of colors, textures and architectural forms this diverse group of plants has to offer, especially during the long winter months. Dress for the weather.
