He’s back! Join us on May 9 for a presentation from perennial favorite Bryce Lane.

He takes a look at climate-based concerns when it comes to gardening. He’ll explore topics such as whether global warming is real, how climate change affects our landscaping practices, and whether we are poised to take advantage of this phenomenon as horticultural professionals and enthusiasts. We will discuss the impacts of changing climate on horticulture and identify new practices and approaches to consider using in the future. As always, this will be a fantastic presentation and conversation with Bryce Lane who continues to engage and encourage attendees of all skill levels at the Tryon Palace Garden Lecture Series.

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 plus years also enjoy spending time growing and making memories with their grandchildren!
