On Thursday, enjoy the day learning from experts Andrea Wulf and Erica Glasener as they share their knowledge at the annual Callaway Gardening School. Wulf will speak on our how our founding fathers attitudes toward plants, gardens, nature and agriculture shaped the American nation. Glasener will showcase how stunning plant combinations, thoughtful design and a strong identity can tie a garden to its region and still be beautiful. Following their talks, both will be participating in a Question and Answer session. Both will have their books available for purchase and signing. Afterwards, shop at the Plant Fair as these two experts stroll the Plant Fair and avail themselves for questions.
