“We could not be more pleased to have Roy bring his wealth of knowledge to the Create Beauty Conference in February,” said Johnny Moore, Tree of Life designer and conference director. “The conference this year will be a great community event – whether you are learning the basics of how to use plants in your backyard or you are a seasoned professional with years of design or installation experience; there will be something for everyone.”
The two days of festivities will kickoff at 7:00 p.m., February 22 with a screening of the film Five Seasons: The Gardens of Piet Oudolf at the Academy Boulder at 970 Aurora Ave., Boulder, CO.

The following day the conference will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Conference attendees will hear Diblik draw from four decades of experience growing perennials as he discusses the intimate relationships between plants, design, and people as well as discuss his own design process; from planting and mulching to maintaining sustainable growth.

Diblik is the owner of Northwind Perennial Farm and author of The Know Maintenance Garden.
