Creating WOW in the garden is achieved in many different ways and Riz will show you how! Contrasting colors, textures, leaf sizes and plant forms are part of the art of making a stunning combination. Riz’s diverse planting style is influenced by his work in floral design and showcases the remarkable plant palette of the Pacific Northwest. He will use examples of his creative and captivating work to give us ideas for our own high impact plant combinations.
An early curiosity about fruits and flowers helped turn Riz Reyes, originally from the Philippines, into an award winning garden designer and avid plantsman. We enjoyed his lively presentation in Bellingham a few years ago and we visited him at McMenamin’s Anderson School in Bothel where he created astounding public gardens. Now we’re excited to hear about his new job as assistant director at Heronswood and his recently published children’s book Grow: A Family Guide to Plants and How to Grow Them (for sale at the lecture).
