"Trees for Urban Spaces: New Cultivars and Proven Performers"
Mike Worthington, Worthington Farms
- Thursday, October 6, 2011 – 7:30 pm–9:00 pm
Mike Worthington grows small flowering trees, shade trees, large hollies, and conifers on more than 300 acres at Worthington Farms, a wholesale nursery in Greenville, North Carolina.
