SUMMARY:Breakout J5: Capture The Spirit of the Garden: Designing with Fragrant Flowers and Aromatic Foliage [Christopher Sheridan]
DESCRIPTION:Ralph Waldo Emerson memorably said\, “The earth laughs in flowers\,” which captures the joy people find in cottage gardens and cheerful urban flower plantings. Unlike color\, fragrance is ephemeral\, invisible\, and hard to describe\, but just as powerful! It summons memories\, provides comfort\, and often takes gardeners and garden visitors to exotic parts of the world. In this session\, Chris will explore the language of fragrance\, review a classic classification system\, and journey through the scented bloom cycle. Get in the spirit and bring a new level of creativity and enjoyment to gardening\, flower arranging\, and garden visiting. \nChristopher Barrett Sheridan is an award-winning civic educator\, pursuing a second career in horticulture and planting design. Chris specializes in scented plants\, cottage garden design\, Arts and Crafts design\, the Language of Flowers\, garden history\, and heirloom plants.\nChris is an instructor with Longwood Gardens and a returning presenter at the Philadelphia Flower Show\, both in Pennsylvania. Some recent programs have focused on fragrant ikebana and scented native plants. Upcoming programs will explore moon gardens and cocktail container design. \nBecause of his emphasis on fragrant flowers and experience in the wine industry\, Chris branded his website The Flower Sommelier (www.flowersommelier.com)\, to remind everyone that flowers are best appreciated up close\, with the eyes\, hands\, and nose. Chris has been published in The American Gardener and is frequently interviewed by fellow garden writers when their subject includes scented plants or sensory gardens. He hopes to launch a podcast in 2025\, something fun\, unconventional\, and focused on wild and romantic gardens. Chris is an active member of Garden Communicators International (GardenComm)\, The Fling\, the American Public Gardens Association\, and the Hardy Plant Society. Chris gardens in suburban Philadelphia and at the New Jersey shore. He is very pleased to be a part of the 2025 International Master Gardener Conference.

SUMMARY:Breakout J6: Assisted Plant Migration for Climate Change [Eva Monheim]
DESCRIPTION:How can people help plant species to move northward as temperatures rise? The disruption of the environment with highways and other man-made structures inhibits plant movement. This session will look at the role humans play in helping to move plants\, as well as helping animals to move more freely to aid in seed dispersal. \nEva Monheim is a speaker\, horticultural and environmental consultant\, garden coach\, and an award-winning university educator. She is a faculty member at Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania for the Professional Horticulture Program and Continuing Education Department. Monheim was an assistant professor at Temple University in Philadelphia\, where she taught numerous subjects to undergraduate and graduate students in horticulture and landscape architecture. Many of her students have gone on to be leaders in the horticulture and green industry\, as well as doctors in plant science and related fields. \nMonheim’s other endeavors include directing\, producing\, and co-hosting the award-winning The Plant a Trillion Trees Podcast\, which is heard in over 110 countries. She is a Certified Arborist® through the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA). Monheim authored Shrubs and Hedges: Discover\, Grow\, and Care for the World’s Most Popular Plants\, which was nominated by The Council on Botanical and Horticultural Libraries for outstanding contributions to the literature of horticulture. Monheim is co-principal of Verdant Earth Educators\, LLC (VEE)\, a company that writes educational documents and standards\, standard operating procedures\, and landscape management plans\, and trains professionals in the green industry. \n
