Local Trees and What We Can Do to Support Their Resiliency

Uli Lorimer, Director of Horticulture for Native Plant Trust, will introduce us to some lesser-known native tree species and describe some of the disease and pest pressures our local trees are experiencing. He will also discuss overall forest health in the face of climate change and what we, as gardeners, can do in support of resiliency.  UIi Lorimer oversees the facilities and operations at Garden in the Woods and at Nasami Farm. Uli brings 20 years of experience working with native plants in public gardens with previous positions at Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Wave Hill Garden and the US National Arboretum. Recently, he published a book called The Northeast Native Plant Primer: 235 Plants for an Earth-Friendly Garden (Timber Press and Native Plant Trust, 2022). It covers trees, shrubs, vines, perennials, grasses, sedges, and native annuals. Uli is a tireless advocate for the use of native plants in designed spaces through his public speaking, writing, lectures, and media appearances. He feels most grounded with his hands in the soil.
