We love talking to our fellow plant nerds! Pat McCracken is the plant fanatic behind Garden Treasures, a plant nursery in Zebulon, NC that features a wide selection of rare and unusual plants for retail customers. Pat has been obsessed with plants his entire life and has been instrumental in the diversification of the American landscape through his plant collecting, breeding, and trialing of mutated sports and unusual seedlings. Join our Director, Mark Weathington, as he sits down for a Garden Conversation with Pat to talk about nursery production, plant exploration and all things novel and curious in the world of plants!
