October 2015 Monthly Meeting
International Clematis authority and Georgia Master Gardener Lyndy Broder was our final guest speaker for 2015 at the October 19th GCMGA monthly meeting. Her topic “Clematis for the Southern Garden” was informative and well received. She’s one knowledgeable lady! Her main focus was new and creative ways to incorporate clematis into the garden which gave great ideas for our own gardens. Lyndy also spoke to care and pruning of clematis as well as our native Clematis. One of the source information on the internet is found at http://www.georgiaperennial.org/data/clematis/clematis.htm Related Images:

Bodie Pennisi, Extension Horticulturist at UGA, taught the group talking about seed, vegetative and tissue culture propagation. The class started in the classroom and moved later in the greenhouse. In the greenhouse, Dario Chavez demonstrated grafting and budding. Students then were able to try some hands on training after the instruction. Related Images:
