Art's Programs Art Wolk's lectures and workshops have received rave reviews* from places such as the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, Longwood Gardens, the Scott Arboretum, and dozens of other garden clubs, arboreta, and societies.  He's available to give programs to your organization on the following topics:

Garden Lunacy: A Growing Concern: This hysterical lecture, based on Art's book by the same name, is a riotous, irreverent romp through the world of horticulture. It includes plant thieves; mid-city, outdoor marijuana growers; flower-show addicts; a visit to Hortiholics Anonymous; the separate universes of gardeners and non-gardeners; Better Homes and Gardens photoshoots; and much more. If you're looking for a program to produce side-splitting laughter, this is it!

Glorious Gardens For Pennies: Tired of getting discouraged when you come home from a great public garden and look at you backyard? This lecture is the perfect cure. Art Wolk will review how the home gardener can inexpensively produce a high-impact flower garden and high-yield vegetable garden. This empowering lecture will also include the basics of flower garden design.

Bulb Growing and Forcing: Growing bulbs is the easiest way for the home gardener to get quick, satisfying results. This program contains information on growing spring-blooming bulbs, both outdoors and indoors. Art will use his twenty-five years of experience and tell many of his secrets of growing and exhibiting bulbs. This lecture also includes a humorous, behind-the-scenes look at what it’s like to exhibit at the Philadelphia Flower Show.

Gardening With Children: Art will show you how to entice youngsters into becoming gardeners. He oversaw a children’s garden for eight years and shows you how to create botanical playgrounds for kids. Every year Art created “please touch” gardens that had new discoveries for children, including cotton, tents of hyacinth beans plants, a cornucopia of herb scents, luffa squash, a “maze of maize,” and much more.   

Glorious Gardens of the Southeast: (This program is suitable for any organization, not just garden clubs.) Art uses photography and humorous stories to take you on a visit to the gardens and people of the Southeastern U.S. A wonderful journey to the best public and private gardens, including a very special visit to Charleston at its peak of spring perfection.
