Walking through trial gardens at Lantern Court:

Lantern Court, original home of the Holden family

We went on to tour the new Research Center and saw:

isozyme characterization of new Hamamelis hybrids with Bob Marquard

new Rhododendron varieties in the greenhouses with Charles Tubesing

Horticulturalist, Peter Bristol, introducing us to some of the gardens

The evening was spent with Randy Zondag in a "BYGL Live" session looking at promising and problematic plants around the Arboretum - and those germplasm raiders were in action again!
