"Every Tree Has a Story—The Stories Behind Many Well Known and Amazing Japanese Maples and Other Ornamental Trees"
Tim and Matt Nichols, Nichols Nursery

  • Friday, July 26, 2019 – 7:30 pm–9:00 pm

Learning the origin, history, uses, culture, etc., of a plant is one of the first things we do when we come upon a new plant. The plant kingdom is full of amazing diversity and every plant has a story to tell. Join Tim and Matt as they share stories of some of their favorite Japanese maples and other ornamental trees.
