1 Dakota County Master Gardener Spring Expo 2018: Let s Get Growing Class Descriptions, Speaker Biographies & Photos Keynote Speaker--1 p.m. Climate Change in Minnesota Ecosystems Dr. Lee Frelich, Director of the Center for Forest Ecology, University of Minnesota Dr. Frelich s timely presentation will start with a brief history of the science of climate change, followed by the projected impacts of low and high CO2 emission scenarios at global and local scales. He will explore how a warming climate will interact with several environmental factors, including deer, invasive species, storms, fires, droughts and habitat loss, to influence the future of Minnesota's forests and prairies. He will also show how natural areas in southern Minnesota inform us about the future of iconic places in northern Minnesota such as the Boundary Waters and Voyageurs National Park. Dr. Lee E. Frelich is Director of the University of Minnesota Center for Forest Ecology. He received his Ph.D. in Forest Ecology from the University of Wisconsin. Dr. Frelich s research includes over 160 publications with 200 co-authors, and he has been featured in venues such as The New York Times, Newsweek, CBS Radio Osgood Files and National Geographic. Frelich has provided consulting services on forest management for the U.S. Army, Air Force, National Forest Service and the National Park Service. His current research interests include largescale fire and wind, earthworm invasion, effects of deer and moose browsing and climate change. Session I-- 9:30 a.m.-- 10:30 a.m. Deborah Snow Class #1--Confessions Of a Hostaholic In Confessions of a Hostaholic, Deborah Snow will share information on how to create the perfect hosta garden. Come to this class to learn about hosta colors, shapes, sizes and companion planting. Learn how to divide a hosta and create a boarder from a single plant. Master Gardener Deborah Snow states that she has always loved plants. She worked in a hosta business several years ago and started collecting hostas on her own when she owned her first home. She kept records for them each year and expanded her collection in a second home, and expands each year. She is excited to share the many varieties she has come to love!
2 Barb Webb Class #2--Introduction To Seed Saving Barb Webb will introduce you to the wonderful world of seed saving. She will discuss some of the easier seeds to save and you will learn about the differences between saving seeds from heirloom, open pollinated and hybrid plants. Barb will talk about self-pollinating vs. crosspollinating flowers, and best practices for selecting, identifying and ensuring that the seeds you harvest and save will produce true plants the following year. You will leave with a better understanding on how to harvest, dry and store some of your favorite seeds. Barb Webb is a Dakota County Master Gardener and a huge fan and supporter of the goals and mission of organizations like Seed Savers Exchange (SSE) and Southern Exposure Seed Exchange. Barb attends the annual three-day SSE Seed Saving Conference in Decorah, Iowa every July, learning about the method and importance of saving seeds to ensure the survival of heirloom varieties. Barb has a large urban vegetable and perennial garden in Eagan and enjoys experimenting with saving seeds of all kinds. Her goal is to someday start a seed lending library in her community so that all gardeners can share nature's greatest gift. Julia Bohnen Class #3--Sustainable Trees & Shrubs In Sustainable Trees & Shrubs, Julia Bohnen will begin by sharing how plants are crucial to the health of humans and earth. She will demonstrate how a single tree can provide property value of $219 annually. Julia will share information on how to make wise selections of both trees and shrubs for your property. There are many considerations including space, location, soil, root structure, shade density and more in these decisions. Julia will also talk about how property owners make site assessments which factor into planting decisions. Final considerations also include size of tree or shrub, bare root or container, and timing for planting. Don t miss this class if you are considering any changes to your landscape. Julia Bohnen, Research, University of Minnesota - M.S. from the University of Minnesota. She is involved in both research and teaching related to ecological restoration and invasive species management. Julia s current research seeks to engage professionals and volunteers throughout Minnesota in identifying and reporting locations of the European haplotype of Phragmites Australis (common reed) to understand its likelihood to spread and its potential to impair ecological functions. Previous projects include a restoration evaluation research project that sought to assess the outcomes of ecological restorations funded by the Environment and Natural Resource Trust Fund. She helped develop a series of online ecological restoration courses that are currently offered through the College of Continuing Education. She has 14 years of project management experience from the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, where she was responsible for restoring and monitoring Spring Peeper Meadow, a landscape scale ecological restoration.
