A Way to Garden with Margaret Roach Uli Lorimer on Propagating Ferns August 2, 2021
b'
By the time we hit August, some plants in the garden are a little beat up\\u2014or have at least needed deadheading, or even wholesale cutting back, perhaps.\\xa0
\\n\\n\\n\\nAs delicate as they might look texturally from the moment of their first emergence in spring, though, the ones that always startle me by their incredible toughness are the ferns. That\'s our topic today, ferns\\u2014and specifically native ones\\u2014with Uli Lorimer of Native Plant Trust, who will tell us some fern lore and some fern care, and even how they reproduce so we can propagate more of them ourselves.\\xa0
\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nUli Lorimer has made a career of working with native plants. He was longtime curator of the Native Flora Garden at Brooklyn Botanic Garden. And in 2019 became Director of Horticulture at Native Plant Trust, the former New England Wild Flower Society, and America\'s oldest plant conservation organization, founded in 1900.\\xa0
