Carriage House Conference Center

Registration begins at 8:30 a.m

$45 per person, price includes lunch

Featuring Tovah Martin and Carleton Woods

Tovah Martin, a horticulturalist, author, freelance writer, photo stylist and lecturer, will talk about “Infusing the Garden with Your Personality.” She has written for Horticulture and Garden Design magazines, among others, and has also appeared on the PBS television gardening series “Cultivating Life,” where she served as editorial producer. Her passion for all things growing and encased in glass has led to her most recent book, The New Terrarium, where she presents the whimsical yet practical world of gardening under glass – a no-fuss way to bring snippets of nature indoors.

Carleton Wood, Executive Director of Hills & Dales Estate in LaGrange, Georgia home of the historic Ferrell Gardens, will speak on “Rediscovering Old Favorites: Historic Plants in Today’s Garden.” Wood directed the public opening of Hills & Dales Estate, a 35-acre property operated by the Fuller E. Callaway Foundation. In 1989, Wood was awarded the Garden Club of America Interchange Fellowship, which allowed him to study at the Royal Botanical Garden, Edinburgh and the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew. He has given many presentations in the Southeast, and has published many articles, including a “Garden of Remembrance” in the Garden Club of America National Bulletin.
