Ben Futa is Director of the Allen Centennial Garden at UW Madison. He is passionate about connecting people to plants, and one other, through public gardens. With a background in landscape architecture and sustainability studies from Purdue University and Indiana University South Bend, Ben has directed the operations of the Allen Centennial Garden and its programs for the last 3 years.
Ben's talk at the October, 2018 Uplands Garden Club meeting focused on Planting Design with Perennials. Ben made recommendations for well-behaved perennials for our gardens and shared tips such as taking photos of our gardens in full season to help with those puzzling spring planting decisions (brilliant!) and invaluable resources like the Plant Calculator on the Midwest Groundcovers website.
During the snack break members perused donated gardening books brought in for the taking by generous garden club members.
