Barn Talk: Horticultural Heretic- Book Launch and Signing

Presented by: George Schoellkopf

October 4 10:00 am - 11:30 am

Join Hollister House Garden founder and President, George Schoellkopf, for a high-spirited horticultural adventure as he reads from his new book, Horticultural Heretic.

Inspired by classic English gardens but shaped by the challenges of northwest Connecticut, Hollister House Garden is the result of George’s creative vision- and his rebellious approach to gardening. In Horticultural Heretic, he shares his unconventional wisdom along with the tricks and methods that helped him break the rules and cultivate a truly original garden. The book is a mine of useful information on the art and craft of gardening, as gleaned from over forty years of hands-on experience.

Expect an engaging reading and the chance to ask questions about gardening, creativity, and breaking the rules. Books will be for sale and the author will be signing copies for attendees.
