The Willowwood Foundation was delighted to host Mr. Bennett Saunders, Saunders Brothers Nursery, Piney River, VA as the 2nd Annual Tubbs Lecture Speaker.
Brace & Bennett
As Vice President of the American Boxwood Society, Mr. Saunders spoke eloquently about healthy boxwood culture, the challenges and management of boxwood blight and graciously provided a guidance and research link: (http://saundersbrothers.com/_ccLib/attachments/pages/Saunders+Brothers+C...) to the sold out audience. He also donated 18 Buxus sempervirens ‘Dee Runk’ to Willowwood. ‘Dee Runk’ is an upright-growing cultivar that is reported to be somewhat resistant to boxwood blight.
John Morse toured Willowwood's boxwood plants with attendees after the lecture. Click here for a list of plants on the tour.
