with Sean Hogan horticulturist, author, and co-owner of Cistus Nursery and Design in Portland, Oregon

Learn about the avalanche of species and forms allowing us to use new textures far outside of accepted boundaries from evergreen oaks with orange furry leaves, to Schlefferas and relatives able to withstand 10°F, and maples that look like live oaks, to Mahonia species from Mexico that make great shade trees.

Sean Hogan was a curator at the University of California Botanical Garden at Berkeley for ten years, then moved to Portland, Oregon, where he co-founded Cistus Design Nursery. Sean edited Flora (Timber Press, 2003) and has recently completed the first volume of a projected two-volume work for Timber, Broadleaved Evergreen Trees, Shrubs and Climbers.
