Discover the wonderful world of clematis with Deborah Hardwick a leading expert who grows more than 1,000 clematis.

Clematis are largely misunderstood and gardeners waste much time learning the hard way…Deborah’s passion is to enable you to grow bigger, better clematis faster than ever before and feature them in your landscape with pride.

Presented by Deborah Hardwick

Deborah has gardened just north of Columbus, Ohio for 25 years, with the last 20 years collecting, studying and growing Clematis. Her private collection of Clematis is one of the largest in the world, and features over 1000 varieties of Clematis, including species from around the globe. Native American Clematis species are an additional feature of the collection, with specimens representing the geographic distribution of a variety of clematis groups grown from wild collected seed.

Deborah’s clematis avocation has taken her across the pond to meet plant breeders and clematarians from around the globe, and she has established import connections and friendships with clematis breeders, collectors and aficionados in several countries.

A frequent contributor to the annual journals of both the International and British Clematis Societies, Deborah welcomes any opportunity to dispel the myths and promote the easy ways to see Clematis flourish in gardens in North America.

Some of her recent lecture venues include the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden, the Indianapolis Art Museum and The Royal Botanical Garden in Ontario, Canada.

By vocation, as owner of Digits Consulting, Deborah consults with spa, salon and beauty clients on maximizing brand potential and strategic and operational planning. Her clients also include Gardens Alive and Spring Hill Nursery where she is tasked with communications and building the company’s Clematis assortment.
