"Expanding Your USDA Hardiness Zone: Lessons from the NYBG Ladies' Border"Speaker: Katherine Wagner-Reiss
Katherine Wagner-Reiss, who has her Certificate in Botany from the NYBG and is a volunteer tour guide there, will lead a virtual tour of this space, emphasizing the concepts of “pushing” the USDA plant hardiness zones and four-season gardening. Katherine Wagner-Reiss received her Certificate in Botany from the New York Botanical Garden in 2015. She is a volunteer tour guide there, giving various tours including Notable Trees, the Forest, the Azalea Garden, the Perennial Garden, the Native Plant Garden, the Conservatory, and her favorite, the Ladies’ Border. In addition, she writes monthly blogs for the Morris Arboretum in Philadelphia, PA; these emphasize plant names, a particular interest of hers.
