2:30 p.m. – Fun with Fall Perennials, with Chelsea Ginn

“Fun with Fall Perennials” is an essential guide to late season gardening in the Seattle area. As our warm weather subsides, Chelsea will take you on a journey through the cultivated garden as we seek to provide color and life for pollinators and people alike.

A plant pathologist, landscape maintenance professional, and the Perennial Plant Buyer for West Seattle Nursery, Chelsea will provide recommendations, while telling a story of the plants that grow successfully in our area—as well as what it takes to maintain them during the cooler months.

An enthusiast of ethnobotany and ecology (as well as a strict proponent of organic techniques), Chelsea seeks to understand the evolutionary history of each species to learn and teach the appropriate place within the Pacific Northwest garden and how to care for each perennial for years to come!
