The O’Byrne’s book A Tapestry Garden – The Art of Weaving Plants and Placetells the story of creating their amazing private garden, “Widely considered one of America’s most outstanding private gardens”. Filled with an incredible array of plants from around the world, the garden is renowned for its stunning patchwork of combinations and variety of habitats. Marietta will speak about creating the garden, and take us on a pictorial tour of the exuberant 1-1/2 acre wonderland that has everything: a shade garden, perennial borders, a chaparral garden, a kitchen garden and a collection of rare plants. Marietta and Ernie have one of the most popular wholesale nurseries in the Paci c Northwest, Northwest Garden Nursery in Eugene, Oregon. It was formerly a retail nursery specializing in unusual plants and it is now a wholesale nursery specializing exclusively in the ‘Winter Jewels’ series of Hellebores developed by Marietta and Ernie.
Marietta and Ernie’s book will be for sale at this lecture (cash or check only).
