Adam Wheeler 25 January, 2012 –
The Witches of Winter
Although Adam probably needs no introduction to most of us, I
have added this for anyone new to our group. Adam Wheeler has
completed his BS degree in Urban Forestry and Landscape
Horticulture at the University of Vermont where he is nearing
completion of his MS degree in Plant and Soil Science. He is
presently employed at Broken Arrow Nursery. Adam’s primary
responsibilities include plant propagation and the acquisition
and development of new plants. In his spare time he enjoys
collecting rare and unusual plants, rock climbing and competitive
giant pumpkin growing.
Come discover the magical world of the witch hazel (Hamamalis
ssp.) during this program. Adam will present a slide lecture that
touches on the storied history, ornamental appeal and noted
selections of these underutilized shrubs.
