Join renowned plantsman Tony Avent as he shares stories of the remarkable plants and unforgettable moments that have shaped his legendary career.

Filled with horticultural adventures and botanical inspiration, you won’t want to miss this engaging lecture!

When Tony Avent was young, he wandered the woods of Raleigh, NC, observing plants and making selections for his early garden.

He began to share this passion with the world, first through garden writing, then overseeing the landscape at the NC State Fairgrounds for 16 years.

In 1986, Tony, and his now late wife, Michelle, opened Plant Delights Nursery.

Juniper Level Botanic Garden (JLBG) was built to surround the nursery, first as a trial garden, and later as an ex-situ conservation and propagation garden.

Over the years, JLBG evolved into one of the most significant ex-situ plant collections in the world, and in doing so has hosted and worked with many of the worlds’ most brilliant horticultural minds.
