Gary is joined by Scott who shares his exciting experiences from a busy week at the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden. From hosting a premier symposium to learning from renowned horticulturists, Scott's week was filled with fascinating insights and discoveries.

Scott's week was marked by a Plant Trials Day symposium, where he got to meet and learn from some of the world's top plant breeders. One of the speakers, Kevin Vaughn, a plant breeder from Oregon, shared his expertise on iris breeding, revealing the intricacies of this often-overlooked world. Scott was impressed by Kevin's passion and dedication to his craft, which has spanned decades.

The conversation also touches on the impact of this summer's rainfall on lawns and landscaping. Scott shares his observations on how even the most drought-resistant plants seem to thrive with adequate water supply. He also notes the importance of selective pruning to prevent potential problems down the road.
