Join us on the Garden's East Terrace for wine or cocktails and hors d'oveuvers. Then step inside for the evening program with Phil Forsline.
Phil Forsline is the recently retired curator of the USDA’s Plant Genetics Resources Unit at Cornell University. He will talk about his travels to Kazakhstan (the apple’s center of genetic diversity) and China to collect wild apple plant samples for conservation, evaluation, and distribution to geneticists and breeders worldwide. Forsline’s work, which could revolutionize the apple industry, was featured in “The Botany of Desire” by Michael Pollan.
