Edible Landscaping with Rosalind Creasy

Two weeks ago I was at the Garden Writers Association conference lin Raleigh, North Carolina, receiving my Hall of Fame Award for lifetime contributions to the field. We toured many gardens, both private and public and attended seminars on blogging, Twitter, Facebook (looks like I have a head start!). There was, of course, the usual tradeshow with new garden products for 2009. As I was standing at one tradeshow booth photographer Mark Turner caught this nice chili gentleman as he came up and gave me a hug. Who says gardening can’t be fun?

On both days, Saturday and Sunday, I’ll be giving a lecture at 11AM on Heirloom Vegetables and Flowers.  Following the lecture, I will be at the Seed Saver’s Vegetable Garden in the Home Gardening Center from 12:30 – 1:30PM. I would love to meet you, show you around, and answer any questions you may have about saving seeds.  After that, I’ll be signing books in the Perennial Garden with author Amy Goldman. If you aren’t already familiar with her work, you can check out her fabulous books and recipes HERE.

Here’s a break down of my schedule:

11AM – Lecture Hall Presentation “Heirloom Vegetables and Flowers”

Edible landscaping lectures have been added to my schedule. These are now reflected in the 2009 schedule page on this website. The new dates include May 7-9 at the Burpee’s Open House in Doylestown, PA.

A very exciting addition will be at the New York Botanical Garden’s Edible Garden exhibition, where I have designed their Seed Saver’s vegetable garden and the new Victorian Cutting Garden. I will be speaking there on Saturday, June 27.

Finally, August 7th, 2009 has been scheduled for the Master Gardener Symposium at Oregon State University, in Corvallis. I will be giving a presentation on edible landscaping to the group and signing books.

Stay tuned for more. This is promising to be an exciting year for edible gardening!
