Gardening Unplugged - Jurassic Gardens with Dr. Patrick McMillan.

Have you ever wondered which of the plants we know today were around when the dinosaurs roamed the earth? Where did flowering plants come from? The most ancient plants today are not ferns or palms, but a group of basal angiosperms called ANITA. Join our Director of Horticulture and Gardens Dr. Patrick McMillan to learn more.

We specialize in rare, and unusual perennials and we strive to carry a wide selection of exotic plants, cold hardy tropical plants, and native plants. Many of our best perennials are available nowhere else in the US as they represent rare plants collected by Plant Delights founder Tony Avent during his more than 60 plant hunting expeditions to places like China, Crete, Taiwan, South Africa and Argentina or distributed by some of the many specialty plant organizations of which Plant Delights is a member. https://www.plantdelights.com Juniper Level Botanic Garden was founded in 1986 by Tony Avent to promote and preserve botanic diversity by bridging the gap between botany and horticulture through plant study, identification, educational outreach, and global plant exploration.
