"Connoisseur Plants for Your Garden"
Marion Drummond and Wayne Womack
Marion and Wayne, two of Hilltop’s perennial favorites, hosted a “Show and Tell” about their exciting new plant selections for PlantFest! 2009 scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, October 3rd and 4th. Marion, former site director and legendary Hilltop figure, is an authority on native plants and new cultivars. Wayne, Professor Emeritus of the LSU Reich School of Landscape Architecture, has over 30 years experience in planting design. He is the quintessential native woodland garden designer. The collective experience of these seasoned gardeners is unrivaled.
