Rainforest Frames: A Mother’s Day Treat

Join horticulturist Kerry Ann McLean as she guides guests through the creative process of crafting living wall gardens made of semi-epiphytic tropical plants attached to rot-resistant frames; choose from the many exotic plants Landcraft Environments, the wholesale nursery attached to the Garden, is best known for. This workshop will specifically explain how to combine plants based on their specific needs, the fundamentals of composition, the mechanics of attaching plants to a vertical surface and the long-term care and rejuvenation of these mini-ecologies. A treat for friends, family and, of course, mom. Light refreshments to be served.

KERRY ANN MCLEAN is Landcraft Garden Foundation’s former Head Gardener. Trained at Longwood Gardens, Kennett Square, PA, Kerry Ann brings to the North Fork years of experience as a grounds and estate manager, public gardener, Horticulture Specialist for W.
