THE TRAVELLING PLANTSMAN: RELIABLE AND RELEVANT PLANTS FOR 21ST CENTURY HORTICULTURE

Being an academic professor, Jared Barnes is blessed to travel across the country and the world learning about new plants and how to use them, and then he carries that knowledge back to share with students to help them stay on the cutting edge of our industry. In this session, Jared will bring the classroom to YOU as he discusses reliable and relevant plants for foodscaping, green roofs, and urban design that you should be using. Jared will also discuss edible and perennial research that he is conducting at Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, TX.
