Renee Kemmerer – Woodland Wonders

Spring-flowering woodland plants are amongst the choicest of garden plants: often slow-growing but immensely rewarding when they become established and spread. Eastern North America and the Far East have particularly rich and gorgeous woodland floras, which are in fact very closely-related but long separated by continental drift. Today we start with a wonderful film about the restoration of a woodland flora in Hokkaido, Japan, with owner Koyou Izumi, and then move to Mt. Cuba Center, a native plant garden in Delaware to join Renee Kemmerer who will tell us about some of the best American natives for shade.
