Magnolias: Majestic Flowering Trees

Join executive director Tim Boland on a walk and talk through the PHA magnolia collection. Tim, on the board of Magnolia Society International, a group of magnolia experts devoted to the promotion, study, and conservation of magnolias, will feature stories about this fascinating group of trees. You will discover the North American magnolia species and the amazing yellow magnolias now available at nurseries. He will also look at Polly Hill’s introductions including the story of the Julian magnolia. But that’s not all you get, you could win a prize: a big-leaf magnolia grown from seed collected in the wild on one of Tim’s plant expeditions!
