*Lecture: Creating Stunning Plant Communities that Stand the Test of Time*

*Claudia West, MLA, International ASLA*

     Ecologically valuable plants are the foundation of healthy ecosystems,
and they bring beauty and joy to people's lives. But great plants alone
don't automatically create stunning and lasting planting. Join Claudia and
discover the striking beauty of ecological plants and explore how they fit
together in stable combination. Take home a wealth of inspiration and be
motivated to test novel plant combinations that will increase the beauty
and ecological value of anyone's home landscape. Enjoy and be inspired!

    Ever wonder what the spots on the back of fern leaves are or where a
coconut's seed is? Join Susan on a tour of the Garden and discover plant
structures and their various functions. Learn what parts of an acacia plant
ants rely on and why bananas only make fruit on one end of their flowering
