About the event
Heather Prince has been a part of the green industry for more than 25 years in numerous facets from public to private. She currently balances a busy freelance horticultural writing and teaching schedule with her role as email marketing manager for The Garden of Words. She is a trained horticulturist specializing in trees, shrubs, and natives with a passion for connecting people with plants. Discover how to add height and drama into your garden with big, bold, bodacious perennials. Tall plants are cool plants! The secret to a stunning garden design is a variety of plant layers that draw the eye up, yet many gardeners shy away from plants that grow to more than three feet tall. We’ll review some favorite tall perennials that will create layers of color and texture in your garden.
