SUMMARY:Chasing the Melting Snow: Conserving Alpines in a Short Alpine Summer with Mike Kintgen
DESCRIPTION:Advance Registration Recommended \nJoin us for Mike Kintgen’s presentation that will cover modern day alpine plant conservation in both the garden and the wild. Mike will touch on the North American Botanic Garden Strategy for Alpine Plant Conservation (“The Alpine Strategy”) and how it’s helping to guide alpine plant work across the US and Canada. Mike will take you deep into remote alpine areas to showcase the beauty of our native alpine flora and touch on the basics of how we go about conserving alpine plants through seed banking. The discussion will wrap up with a look at the Rock Alpine Garden at Denver Botanic Gardens where some of these collections are on display. \nphoto by Jen Toews \nAbout the presenter: \nMike Kintgen has been gardening since age 7 in both Steamboat Springs and the Denver metro area.
