OFFSITE EVENT – Faith in a Seed

Join PHA Director Tim Boland as he outlines the history, programs, and unique collections of the Polly Hill Arboretum on Martha’s Vineyard. The legendary horticulturist Polly Hill started the Arboretum by planting a seed in 1958. The internationally recognized collections today include the national collection of stewartia which grow among a dazzling array of rhododendron, magnolias, and other rare plants. Today, PHA staff continue Polly Hill’s dedication to growing plants from seed. Tim will talk about recent plant expeditions, the training of a new generation of botanists, and the exciting plants and programs that continue the living legacy of Polly Hill.
