"The Mixed Border and the Concept Behind It"

Warning: we had a number of technical problems recording this live and in-person program. We had difficulty keeping the camera in focus, especially during the first half. Additionally, Doug accidentally pressed the mute button on his microphone when crouching low to talk about some iris. Approximately 40 minutes were lost due to this issue.

The Mixed Border at the JCRA has long served as a stunning mirror to the Perennial Border across the Great Lawn. Botanical treasures abound in the border. Join Doug as we explore this garden within the Arboretum filled with trees, shrubs, bulbs, and herbaceous perennials.

Curious what type of pine is shown around the 34 minute mark. Thanks for another great video :)
