SPECIAL EVENT: Fall: The Forgotten Season

Henry Schmieder Arboretum

Wed, Sep 21, 2011, 7:00pm - 9:00pm

Tickets: 0

Instead of fall winding down the growing season, great trees and shrubs can extend it.  Roger Gossler will discuss how the garden can look even better in fall than in spring by choosing dazzling trees, shrubs and perennials.


Roger Gossler is co-owner of Gossler Farms Nursery, which is located in Springfield, Oregon.  The nursery has operated for over four decades and specializes in magnolias, winter-blooming trees and shrubs, and uncommon perennials.  It has been a source for rare and unusual plants throughout the U.S. and Europe.  For over twenty years Roger has traveled across the U.S. to speak about unique and new plants.  His horticultural knowledge was gained both formally and informally.  He holds an Associate’s Degree in Landscape Design Maintenance.  The Gossler family’s first book, entitled Gossler’s Guide to Hardy Shrubs, is published by Timber Press. 


Reception in Mandell lobby begins 6:45 p.m.


Book-signing immediately follows the presentation.


Seating is limited.  Call Marie Lewis (215-489-2283) or email Marie.Francois-Lewis@delval.edu  to register for this event by September 19.
