Ross will discuss Heronswood’s Renaissance Garden, home to their vast collection of fern species. He will look at the history of the garden and the philosophy behind its creation, plus the connection between this garden and the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe. \u201cI will also focus on ferns, an important group of plants for all gardeners in the Pacific Northwest. As the Heronswood Director, I’ve overseen the development of this garden, which began at around the same time I started work here,\u201d Ross said.<\/p>\n
