Unless you've been living in a cave with the Taliban for the last few years, you recognize that Hellebores have become America's favorite shade perennial. Join Barry Glick of Sunshine Farm & Gardens, noted breeder of Helleborus x hybridus 'Sunshine Selections' and self proclaimed "King of Helleborus" for an educating and entertaining tour of the genus from hybridizing to propagation. |
Jim Revell has loved gardening since his pre-teen days and following college and military service he owned and operated a landscaping business in California. In 2001 Mr. Revell joined the Bedford Area Master Gardeners, taking advantage of the training and the opportunity to serve his community, and the rest is, as they say, history. He is currently a sought-after speaker on horticultural subjects. Through his various positions with the Bedford Area Master Gardeners Mr. Revell has inspired a hands-on approach and spirited enthusiasm that grew the organization to new heights. He is a regular with the Master Gardener College, and he serves on the MG College Advisory Board where he has had an active role in planning and implementation of the summer programs.
