By Dr. William C. Welch on his upcoming lecture “Something Old, Something New – Plant & Design Choices for Today’s Landscapes”
It is our wealth of southern gardening heritage—a wealth both stimulating and challenging to today’s garden designers and makers—that inspire these presentations at this year’s Southern Garden Symposium. We will celebrate both cultures and plants as we look at how these came together to create memorable gardens whether they be small swept plots or large formal landscapes.
By examining our gardening heritage we will be better equipped to create distinctive new gardens and “sense of place” interpretations that truly reflect our region and its people. New additions to the plantscape include recently available camellias, tea plants, crinums, phlox, crape myrtles and many others. We are freshly inspired to create more resource efficient landscapes and recognize that many of our southern heirloom plants are a perfect fit for today’s choices.
