Welcome
2017 Sponsor
8:15am–9:15am Full Audience - Assisted Diversification for the Anthropocene
Chuck Cannon
Currently, human activity is changing the fundamental global nature of the climate, the environment, and natural ecosystems like forests
and prairies, which may make “restoration” of past conditions impossible. Plants, particularly trees, have adapted well to previous major
global shifts. We must allow them to exploit the natural processes, like hybridization and migration and evolution, which have enabled
them to adapt in the past. Botanic gardens are ideal organizations to lead the exploration and management of an “assisted diversification”
program.
9:15am–10:15am Full Audience - Pawpaw: The Story of America’s Forgotten Fruit
Andy Moore
What is a pawpaw, and why have most people never heard of it before? Andrew Moore offers a brief history of the pawpaw, the largest edible
fruit native to the United States, and offers some explanations as to why it has been overlooked in modern times. He also provides an over
view of the growers and producers working to raise the fruit’s profile, and how the fruit tree can be reintegrated into our diets and culture.
10:15am–10:35am Break
10:35am–11:35am Concurrent Sessions A
A1. Delaware Botanic Gardens – From a Humble Beginning to an Amazing Reality
Gregg Tepper
Delaware Botanic Gardens is bringing a new public garden to the Delmarva Peninsula! Join Director of Horticulture, Gregg Tepper as he
guides you through the steps that are being taken to create this new coastal plain garden with all the exciting features it will have to delight
and inspire you.
A2. Plants for 5 Senses
Ian Caton
See your garden, learn your garden, touch your garden, taste your garden, smell your garden. This program will, through a combination of
images and demonstrations, present native plants that engage your senses and make your garden an interactive and exciting place to be.
A3. Economic Ecology – Floodplain Restoration: Maximizing Economic and Environmental Returns
Kelly Gutshall
Thirty years of observations show how conventional methods of addressing water-resource issues such as pollutant removal, flood
reduction and habitat restoration in the mid-Atlantic region are frequently land-intensive and cost-prohibitive. Economic Ecology is an
innovative, regional approach to solving water issues that can maximize both economic and environmental returns on investment. Land
Studies has up to 15 years of monitoring data showing the long-term economic and ecological benefits of such projects.
A4. Beyond Honey Bees: Native Bees Need Our Help!
Heather Holm
Contrary to regular reports in the media, honey bees are a globally stable bee species and not at risk of extinction. Native bees, on the other
hand, are in serious peril due to the lack of adequate nesting habitat and forage plants. Native bees and native plants share a close co
evolutionary relationship and it is native bees that make the most significant contribution to the pollination of native plants, playing a
critical role in improving ecosystem functionality and genetic diversity in native plant communities. Learn about the nesting habitat, life
cycle, pollen collection, brood rearing and habitat requirements of several common genera of native bees. Tools and tips on how to identify
bees will also be provided.
11:35am–12:50pm Lunch & Plant Sale and Trade Show OPEN

12:50pm–1:50pm Concurrent Sessions B
2017 Partner
B1. The New South Garden at Mt. Cuba Center
Eileen Boyle
MCC has just completed the transformation of the South Garden to bring more interest to the Formal Gardens and highlight the use of
native plants in a mixed border. Originally designed by Marian Coffin in the 1950s the site has been re-imagined with a nod to her
aesthetics. Eileen will talk about the history of the site and explain the design process that incorporates a more summer like progression
of bloom.
B2. Woodland Wonders from the Wild Deuxime Partie
Barry Glick
An enlightening, entertaining and educational look at some of the plants that we overlook on our woodland hikes. Some of the most
interesting and unusual wildflowers are growing in our own backyards right under our noses. Join us for a fascinating wild wander into the
wonderful world of woodland wildflowers. This is the follow-up to last year’s presentation, but is relevant whether you attended Part One or
not.
B3. Wilding the Urban Landscapes
John Magee
How do you bring native plants into the mainstream urban landscape without upsetting your neighbors? In this presentation John will walk
you through a few of his more notable designs from start to finish. Learn how to create habitat for wildlife on your property while
beautifying your home through traditional landscaping principles given a modern twist. Stunning before, during and after pictures will
bring out the native plant gardener in all of us.
B4. Nature Journaling in the Garden
Carol Welsh and Pat Catucci
Learn how to keep your own nature journal and start a life-long creative habit as you explore native plants in the landscape. Nature
Journaling opens a world of beauty and discovery to you as you increase your powers of observation as a naturalist and improve your
writing and artistic skills. With natural specimens at hand, participants will practice both in and outdoors at the conference location. You
will learn to use simple innovative thinking practices such as Four Color Analysis and The Nine Investigative Frames to deepen your work
and develop new techniques in your journaling style. Wherever you are on your journaling journey, a beginner wanting to know how to
take the first step or a seasoned traveler, don’t miss this opportunity to gain new insights and meet up with fellow journalers! Supplies will
be available for $10 kit fee or you may bring your own materials. Materials in the Journaling Kit: journal with 140 lb. watercolor paper,
pencil, watercolor paints, pencil crayons or markers, fine brushes, black fine point pen.

3:45pm–4:45pm Full Audience - Designing and Managing Storm Resilient Landscapes
Rebecca McMackin
After Hurricane Sandy in 2012, a Consortium of Coastal Parks was formed by 15 public parks and gardens, with the goal of determining
and disseminating best management practices and plant response to flooding. We developed a Best Management Practices document for
flooding response and tracked plant response of over 500 species. This presentation will discuss the formation and benefit of the
Consortium, the necessity of similar collaborations, and present data results. As we prepare for climate change, these sorts of collaborative
research efforts are critical for protecting established landscapes and designing new ones.

8:15am–9:15am Full Audience - New Tools to Solve an Old Problem, The Return of the American Chestnut
Bill Powell
The American chestnut is the classic example of our forests succumbing to exotic pathogens. Because of its environmental, economic, and
social importance, many tools have been brought to bear on the chestnut blight problem. We have discovered that an oxalate detoxifying
enzyme can raise blight resistance levels as high as those found in the blight-resistant Chinese chestnut. Because this is only a very small
change in the chestnut, these trees will be ideal for restoration.
9:15am–10:15am Full Audience - The Pollination of Native Plants
Heather Holm
Pollination is often believed to be a mutualistic exchange between a pollinator and plant but this is not always the case with the diversity
of flower-visiting insects a particular plant may attract. Heather will discuss the factors influencing the effective pollination of native plants
including flower development, form, and the presentation of, and types of floral resources offered by a native plant. The presentation will
cover the flower-visiting insects, their foraging behavior, and what influences their effectiveness as a pollinator.
10:15am–10:35am Break
10:35am–11:35am Concurrent Sessions C
C1. Native Lilies
2017 Sponsor
Gregg Tepper
Join horticulturist Gregg Tepper for an in-depth look at our native lilies. From growth habit, flowering times and pollinator value to correct
culture and site placement, you will learn the intricacies of these astounding plants that command your attention!
C2. Water in the Landscape
John Magee
Nothing brings life to the garden like adding a water feature whether it is a babbling brook or a still pond; all life is attracted to water. Learn
how to avoid easy mistakes and follow along as you’re shown before and after pictures of several projects from start to finish.
C3. Exploring Grafting for conservation and Scientific Purposes
Chuck Cannon
Vegetative propagation is occasionally one of the only options for preserving and maintaining germplasm and it is usually the most effective
method for production. For trees, this is particularly true, where seeds are often recalcitrant and individuals are slow-growing. At the
moment, the majority of woody plant grafting occurs in the nursery trade for production. In the Center for Tree Science, we are pulling
together an international group to review and assess the potential for grafting to be used more widely as a conservation tool. Particularly, we
want to use modern advanced techniques to move the approach beyond the ‘craft’ stage and to understand the basic aspects of tissue
compatibility and self-recognition.
C4. Bringing the Magic of Meadows to School and Communities
Maggie Strucker
The Pocket Meadow Initiative is a program designed by Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve to take a small piece of meadow and recreate it
in school yards and public spaces throughout the region. Partnering with school and community groups, season after season of learning,
inspiration, and color are cultivated, highlighting the value of native plants.
11:35am–12:50pm Lunch & Plant Sale & Trade Show OPEN
(included with conference registration)
12:50pm–1:50pm Concurrent Sessions D
2017 Partner
D1. Encouraging Biodiversity in the Concrete Jungle
Rebecca McMackin
Brooklyn Bridge Park, an 85 acre, organic park in the middle of New York City, was created with ecology in mind. The park’s award winning
piers include top notch recreation, from opera to outdoor films, all of it beautifully designed. But the piers also contain native woodlands,
freshwater wetlands, salt marshes, and numerous meadows. These areas closely mimic native ecosystems and are managed with an emphasis
on wildlife habitat. This talk will detail many of the strategies employed to design an ecological park, as well as the management techniques
used to cultivate biodiverse parkland.
D2. Super-tough: Native Plants for Difficult Situations
Ian Caton
As a Landscape Designer and home gardener I have often had ambitious plans for the creation of amazing diverse gardens with visions
of trilliums, phlox, lady slippers and other plants wild and rare. Then reality sets in with the first shovel of hard clay. Then extreme drought,
pesky wood goats (deer) and other adversities took over. Eventually I learned how to garden in a way that works with difficult soils, harsh
climates and other pests. This lecture is designed as an introduction to wildflowers that have proven, through experience, to be
particularly reliable and tough under the most adverse conditions - drought, flooding, extreme heat, hard-pan soils, deer, invasive species
invasion, and damage from over-enthusiastic pets, children and spouses.
D3. Roadside Habitat Management Strategies that Promote Native Flora and their Pollinators
Lisa Kuder
Restoring native meadows along transportation rights-of-way is a key component of national efforts to mitigate pollinator declines. Our
multi-year study evaluates two sustainable management strategies, selective herbicide treatments and annual mow, to enhance highway
margins for pollinators. Potential contamination of floral resources by common roadside pollutants will also be explored. Preliminary results
and implications for conservation efforts will be highlighted.
D4. Down & Dirty: Soil Basics
Eileen Boyle
Soil is not dirt! Healthy soil is alive with micro-organisms and contains the food your plants need. Join Eileen Boyle as she explains why the
amazing world beneath your feet is the most essential part of a successful garden and how to improve soil by adding compost from yard
waste. We will show you how.
