Time spent working or walking in a garden has bona fide benefits to our physical\, mental and emotional health. This talk highlights many of the ways gardening makes us better\, and shares much of the current research that supports what we gardeners already knew. \n9:50 – 10:10                BREAK– light refreshments provided \n10:10 – 11:20              Specialist Bees \nNancy Adamson- Botanist\, Ecologist\, Biologist \nLike butterflies\, some bees have long-term relationships with particular plants. These specialist bees depend on pollen from one plant species or a few related plants for their young’s survival and transformation into adults. Learn about enticing plants for your garden and when to expect pollen-hungry visitors. \n11:30 – 12:40              The Big Picture: Regenerating Life\, Landscapes\, Climate and Living    Soils \nDale Hendricks- Horticulturist\, Gardener \nThe native plant movement in many ways has been a success. How can the   native plant and permaculture movements inform and enrich each other? How can we add more natives to our diet? Is the real world so simple as “good and bad guys”? Must we be at war with invasive plants? Why are they moving and taking over so fast? Can we be a civilization of stewards and gardeners? \n12:40 – 1:40                Boxed Lunch from Panera Bread \n 1:40 – 2:50                  Early Plant Explorers and Garden Influencers \nLaura Viancour – Horticulturalist\, Garden Historian and Lecturer \nThe bounty of new flora in the colonies contributed to Williamsburg being an active horticultural hub in colonial times. “Meet” some of the early garden enthusiasts and plant explorers who traveled to Virginia and learn about the plants they found in their own words from period notes and correspondence. \n2:50 – 3:00                  BREAK- refreshments available \n3:00 – 4:10                  Mixing it Up: Inspiring Perennial and Woody Plant Combinations \n                                    Bryce Lane- Undergrad Professor \nThis is an informative\, and inspiring talk on identifying dynamic combinations of plants to use in all kinds of landscape garden beds.
