Last day to register is 3/10/25 by 5:00 pm. \nRegister Here! \nClick HERE for the most up to date 2025 Shenandoah Valley Plant Symposium day of agenda/schedule of events. \nAGENDA: \n8:00 – 8:30                  Registration- coffee and light refreshments provided \n8:30 – 8:45                  Welcome & Announcements: \n8:45 – 9:50                  The Power of Plants: How Gardening Helps Mind\, Body and Soul \nBryce Lane – Undergrad Professor \nDid you know that a twenty-minute walk in a garden is equal to taking two anti-depressant pills! 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. One can achieve an excellent color display by combining herbaceous perennials with select woody plants. We will talk about color dynamics\, the color echo\, and make recommendations of some great plant combinations that will catch the eye! \n4:10 – 4:15                  Closing Remarks- Springing forward from here \n

SUMMARY:Science Talk: Dr. Angel Garcia\, JMU Assistant Professor\, Ethnogeology & Karst Science
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Angel Garcia \nTopic: To Be Determined \nPlease save the date to join us at at 7 pm on Tuesday\, March 18th\, at the Wayne Theatre in Waynesboro for a Science Talk by Dr. Angel Garcia\, JMU Assistant Professor of Ethnogeology & Karst Science. \nDr. Garcia is a Boricua (Puerto Rican) geologist interested in ethnogeology\, cave and karst science\, place-based education\, and increasing diversity within geosciences. His undergraduate degree is from Universidad Ana G. Mendez in Puerto Rico\, where he majored in Environmental Sciences with a minor in Marine Biology. He went on to graduate school at the University of Vermont\, where he received an MS degree in Geology\, focusing on geochemistry\, and then to Arizona State University for his doctoral degree in Geological Sciences\, focusing on ethnogeology about culturally framed geological interpretations among long-term residents in the Dominican and Puerto Rican karst. In 2020 he was appointed assistant professor in the Department of Geology and Environmental Science at James Madison University (Harrisonburg\, VA). \nWe will have more details about Dr. Garcia’s presentation topic closer to the date\, so stay tuned! \nScience Talks are free and open to the public\, with a “donate what you will” to the Wayne Theatre for hosting.
