🌟 Speaker: Mark Turner, freelance editorial photographer and writer. Mark Turner is a freelance editorial photographer specializing in botanical subjects, especially Northwest wildflowers and gardens. He is the photographer, and co-author with Phyllis Gustafson, of the award-winning Wildflowers of the Pacific Northwest. His second book, Trees and Shrubs of the Pacific Northwest, was co-authored by Ellen Kuhlmann and published by Timber Press in 2014. His latest book for Timber, Weeds of the Pacific Northwest, was co-authored by Sami Gray and published in 2024. Mark’s presentation will focus on the plants we didn’t ask to join our gardens: weeds. But just because they’re weeds doesn’t mean they’re ugly. In fact, some of our weeds are quite beautiful. Come on a journey showcasing some of our most unwelcome plants and get a few tips on controlling them, too.
