“When David Howard spoke at our 2007 symposium, he charmed the audience with a fascinating presentation on Highgrove’s royal gardens, where he served as the head gardener to Prince Charles,” said Laura Viancour, garden programs coordinator. “The response to his lecture by our audience was very favorable, and we are delighted that he agreed to return and give two presentations this year.”

Howard also will host one of three concurrent sessions, “What Happens Next? Managing Your Garden,” earlier in the day. A separate ticket is required to attend.
