We tend to think that gardening happens in spring and summer. Our view of fall is all about the striking colours of trees, mostly maples. However, fall offers an abundance of garden interest in the form of flowers and foliage colors, along with displays from berries and seed heads that overflow into the winter season. With the addition of attractive bark and silhouettes from woody plants, we will explore these attributes that are overlooked during the other seasons.
Snow Ferreniea is English, learning initially about plants and gardening from her parents, both of whom were avid gardeners. She received her formal education in horticulture in England. Coming to America in the 70’s, she continued to pursue her passion for plants, especially native ones, as a professional horticulturist. Snow was director of horticulture at Garden in the Woods. She has also worked at the New Your Botanical Garden, Holden Arboretum and Wayside Gardens.
