Fantastic Plants and Where to Find Them
with Mark Leichty
Location:
The Garden House at Shoup Park

Mark Leichty grew up on a grass seed farm outside Albany, Oregon where he still lives.
He is a committed plant nerd and enjoys creating beautiful gardens full of rare and unusual plants. He has created two beautiful show gardens at the Northwest Flower and Garden Show in Seattle.
He will discuss and show slides of many of the rare and beautiful plants he has come across
in some of the most beautiful gardens around the Pacific Northwest, California and beyond.
