8th Annual Winter Garden Symposium:
Infusing the Garden with Your Personality
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.

First Friday Brown Bag Lunch Lecture Series: "Sustainable Landscapes and Natural Capital"
Goodwood Museum and Gardens
Jubilee Cottage
12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Free, No reservations required
By John Tobe, Director of Ecological Restoration and Conservation at Ecological Resource Consultants
If we think of our landscape in economic terms, then our natural capital, such as a native supply of trees or blueberries, or wild ducks, can be understood as any asset which yields a flow of valuable ecosystem goods or services into the future (i.e. new trees, blueberries, or ducks). It is this flow which links natural capital to sustainable landscapes in that natural capital may also provide services such as recycling wastes and is part of the carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, oxygen and water systems that replenish the earth.
The city of Tallahassee is a human created landscape overlain on a formerly “natural” ecosystem. By maximizing our local natural assets, we can create a low maintenance landscape using very little input from fossil fuels and reducing our carbon footprint. John will explain these concepts using the landscape at Goodwood to illustrate how they function in the natural world. Attendees may bring their lunch if desired.
