Welcome, Autumn!
Special Holiday Present(ation)!

We're excited to bring Joseph Tychonievich, a nationally recognized speaker to Farm & Garden. Organic Gardening magazine called him one of “six young horticulturalists who are helping to shape how America gardens.” On Thursday, December 10, Joseph will share with us his extensive knowledge of and passion for rock gardens.

The author of several books, including Plant Breeding for the Home Gardener, The Complete Guide to Gardeners: The Plant Obsessed and How to Deal with Them, and Rock Gardening: Reimagining a Classic Style, Joseph is also the editor of Rock Garden Quarterly, published by the North American Rock Garden Society.

Joseph studied horticulture, plant breeding, and genetics at a university in Ohio and was the nursery manager at Arrowhead Alpines, a premier rock garden nursery in Fowlerville, Michigan. He was a 2013 Ann Arbor Garden Walk Marketplace vendor for Arrowhead Alpines. He now lives and gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia, but misses Michigan because it’s such a great climate for rock gardens!

Don’t miss this front row seat for what’s sure to be a fun and inspiring presentation. Joseph will take questions, so be prepared with yours and we’ll all learn together from an expert.


Thursday, December 10 via Zoom
Log in starting at 12:30 pm. Meeting starts 12:45 pm; presentation at 1 pm. Watch your email for the Zoom invitation.
