The Friends of Boerner Botanical Gardens are privileged to host this book release event for our friend and plants man extraordinaire, Roy Diblik, and appreciate Roy’s continued support of our mission.
Roy Diblik’s concept of Know Maintenance Gardening was developed in response to what he calls “hope-to-God gardening”: Throw a plant in the ground and hope to God it grows. And because there’s no such thing as a “no-maintenance” garden, Roy set out to design a way to combine sustainability, beauty and practicality — with proven results. Through years of study, experimentation, observation and hands-on knowledge, Roy has invented an easy-to-follow, fool-proof approach to creating beautiful, healthy, low-maintenance gardens that will be the pride of any neighborhood.
Diblik is co-owner of Northwind Perennial Farm in Lake Geneva and has propagated prairie plants and completed full scale prairie restorations since the late 1970s.
