Landscapes That Save the World with Bryce Lane

Gardeners today are faced with many challenges and opportunities to create landscapes that help make our world a better place. The list is extensive and sometimes can be overwhelming: global climate change, storm water runoff, increased endangered species, invasive plants, wildlife protection and promotion, and so much more! One of the keys to solving many of these problems is biodiversity. Come find out about biodiversity and how we gardeners can incorporate these principles and practices into our own landscapes as a way to improve the world we live in.

About Bryce Lane

Bryce discovered his passion for plants and telling others about them while working at a small Massachusetts garden center throughout high school and college.  After earning his BS and MS in Horticulture, he came to the Department of Horticultural Science at NC State University as an Instructor and Undergraduate Teaching Coordinator.  He spent thirty-four years teaching and advising over 20,000 students.  Although Bryce retired in 2014 he still teaches part-time at NC State.  For eleven seasons he hosted and produced the three-time, Emmy winning, UNC TV public television show “In the Garden With Bryce Lane.” He now spends his time giving horticulture talks, leadership and communication training, and teaching part-time at NC State and the JC Raulston Arboretum. He has also worked closely with North Carolina Extension and the NC Nursery and Landscape Association for many years. Bryce is now featured as the host of Logan’s Garden Shop Podcast. As an avid gardener in his spare time, Bryce has creatively cultivated the same one quarter acre plot for thirty-six years. He and his wife of forty-two years also enjoy spending time growing and making memories with their six grandchildren!
