In addition to plant exhibitors, the plant fair has other activities from speakers to tours of the homestead (established in the 1840s). The following is a sample of some of the talks: Bulbs, the how, why and wherefore of bulks. Feeding your soil, not your plants. Good garden design, some basic principles. Our website has a link to the Plant Fair website which has a program of the different activities and talks.

Interesting Fact

The Bamboo stem or trunk is also called a Culm. The definition of culm is: culm, in botanical context, originally referred to a stem of any type of plant. It is derived from the Latin word for 'stalk' (culmus) and now specifically refers to the above-ground or aerial stems of grasses and sedges.
