Connections Beyond Our Garden; Talks on People, Plants and Place

Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania

Wed, Apr 13, 2011, 2pm - 4pm

Tickets: $18 for Arboretum members and $20 for non-members

Join Paul Meyer on April 13th at Morris Arboretum for his discussion on International Plant Exploration

For more than three decades the Morris Arboretum has had an active plant exploration program, both in the U.S. and abroad. In his illustrated talk, Paul Meyer will show us the most promising and interesting plants collected and take us back to three of the fascinating collection locales, Korea, China, and the Republic of Georgia. Paul will share images of beautiful landscapes and tales of early trips to China when he was among the first western visitors to rural areas in 50 years!  Director of the Morris Arboretum since 1991, Paul is a leader in the field of plant exploration and evaluation, a popular lecturer, and has played a major role in the Arboretum’s restoration of its late-Victorian gardens, architecture, and vistas with notable plant collections.
