CG Speakers
Carolina Gardener magazine has never had a shortage of great writers, but quite often we receive inquiries about whether these people who have displayed such penned prowess with plants are equally adept at horticultural orations. In other words, sure, they can write, but can they speak?
Indeed, many writers who work with Carolina Gardener are veterans of the garden lecture circuit. Listed below are some of our current 'stars' along with samplings of their trademark topics. Many of the speakers below have several more lectures than just the three included, but the topics listed are simply meant to give a tantalizing glimpse of the talent currently associated with Carolina Gardener.

These fascinating topics plus dozens of plants, ranging from the night-blooming cereus to the tropical water lilies, are featured.

Peter reviews movies for National Public Radio in Asheville, and over the years, has gathered a great deal of information on the connection between movie monsters and flowers, plus all those plants used by mystery writers to dispatch their victims.

For many years, Peter has written and talked about the use of wild plants in the home garden plus a great deal of lore about their uses in medicine. Based on the book of the same name (The Wild Gardener, Stackpole, 1991), a number of rare, common and unusual plants are covered in this lecture. |
