C.L. Fornari, aka “The Garden Lady”, will prove that there is indeed treasure everywhere, by taking us on a virtual garden tour, drawing ideas and inspiration from beautiful public and private gardens in the US, Canada and Europe.  This promises to be a visual feast.  Be ready to be introduced to new plants and plant combinations, and to learn how others have solved problems.

 C.L. Fornari is from Sandwich, Massachusetts, and wears many hats. She is a plant expert who transitioned from artist to garden communicator and consultant in the 1990’s.  She hosts a radio show and a podcast, and has written eight books on gardening.  Her latest is “Sand and Soil – Creating Beautiful Gardens on Cape Cod and the Islands”; she has received many awards for her writing. In 2015 she launched the Cape Cod hydrangea Festival to raise money for local charities.  It has since become an annual event.
