Bryce Lane, Alumni Distinguished Undergraduate Professor Emeritus and Lecturer Emeritus, Department of Horticultural Science, NC State University

When gardeners come together to discuss their shared passion, beautiful things are bound to happen. And who better to lead such a discussion than Bryce Lane with his electric personality and unbridled enthusiasm for horticulture? The Gardenside Chat is a fantastic opportunity to join Bryce and your fellow gardeners for an exhilarating and elucidating discussion about all things plants and gardening, without the commitment of attending a multi-week class.

Bryce will deliver a brief presentation about a horticultural topic that's captured his attention, and then he'll open the floor to questions, answers and discussion. You're invited to ask about whatever's on your mind, be it the topic at hand, or any gardening topic that has your attention right now. With the wealth of gardening experience and wisdom collected in the classroom, not just from Bryce but from your classmates as well, this is certain to be a wonderful evening of learning, sharing and growing.

We are very pleased to offer Bryce's Gardenside Chat both in-person and online, because it means we can see all our out-of-state friends, and offer those of us nearby a bit of flexibility if we can't make it out to the garden. The JCRA's Education Assistant, Blake Wentley, will be on hand to facilitate the discussion for the online folks and do everything in his power to be a generally positive presence. If you can't join us live, a recording of this program will be made available to all participants. This is going to be a truly historic event, and we hope we'll see you on August 26 for our Gardenside Chat with Bryce!
