On Wednesday, May 28, 2014, we attended the Garden Walk at Boerner Botanical Gardens.
The topic was Vines and Groundcovers.
The guide was Milwaukee County Consumer Horticulture Agent Sharon Morrisey.
It was a educational and entertaining walk. Ms. Morrisey has an encyclopedic knowledge of plants and pointed out and explained many examples of vines and groundcovers.
Boerner's use of masses of Epimediums as a groundcover was spectacular.
The dutchman's pipe was in bloom, and it was fun to see so many blossoms.
The clematis collection at Boerner is in such poor condition that we did not visit it, which was a major disappointment for me.
Well worth attending.
Counts as 1.5 hours MGV continuing education credit.
