The “Down to Earth” Speaker Series, presented by Fort Collins Nursery, delves into the fascinating world beneath our feet. This engaging new 6-session series invites thought leaders from across the state to uncover the intricate connections between soil, plants, and people.

Join a top-notch panel of storytellers as they delve into the adventurous and intricate world of plant collection. Have you ever wondered how a specific tree species is selected, cultivated, and brought to market? Traveling across our high plains landscape, the panel will unearth the secrets behind the beauty and adaptability of oak trees. They’ll discuss how to choose the best tree, collect and grow the perfect specimen, and ultimately bring it to market.

This talk will include a behind-the-scenes look at some amazing new Plant Select oak hybrids, specially grown for our challenging climate, which will soon be available on the market. Come peek behind the curtain into the magical world of plant propagation.

Enjoy thought-provoking presentations, a complimentary glass of wine, beer, or non-alcoholic beverage, hors d'oeuvres, and opportunities to connect through Q&A and mingling.
