The CGAUX has units in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and Guam.

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.

About the Speaker: 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 plus years also enjoy spending time growing and making memories with their grandchildren!

ECU professor Dr. McRae will present on her research on Eastern Bluebirds in North Carolina. Bird enthusiasts of all ages will enjoy this presentation!
