Cole Burrell Speaks at GCRC May Meeting
Noted landscape designer and writer C. Colston Burrell spoke to an overflow crowd at the May meeting of the Garden Club of Ramsey County on "Literature into Art: Books that Changed the Way We Garden." The talk, co-sponsored by the Minnesota State Horticultural Society, was preceded by a reception in the gardens of Lee and Jerry Shannon. (See photo at right.)
This event was particularly meaningful because Cole designed the native plant gardens surrounding the Highland Library and Hillcrest Recreational Center where GCRC meets. GCRC volunteers have maintained these gardens for over 15 years. The handout from his talk is available here.
