On July 6, Warren Leach, co-owner of Tranquil Lake Nursery will come to talk about, 'Beyond Blooms: Creative Design with Color, Structure and Senescence.'

"Everyone loves flowers, but New England is blessed with a climate that supports a wide range of plant material that looks terrific even when it isn't in bloom. Plus, we have this thing called 'autumn' when nature runs riot."

Warren is a landscape horticulturalist - a plantsman who not only knows his cultivars, but knows how to use them to great effect in a garden. He'll show you how to design with and for color.

All "Wednesday Evenings" talks begin at 7 p.m. and are held in the Education Building at Elm Bank. They end when the last question is answered, usually around 8:30.

The cost to Mass Hort members is $10 per talk or $50 for the series of ten (pricing for the Adrian Bloom talk is understandably a little higher). The charge for Non-Mass Hort members is $15 per talk. Refreshments and beverages are served at all talks. Reservations are not required.
