Garden Conversations - "Featuring John Buettner of the NC State Fairgrounds" 

Presented by Dennis Carey, Curator, JC Raulston Arboretum, John Buettner, Competitive Exhibits Coordinator, North Carolina State Fairgrounds, and Blake Wentley, Education Assistant, JC Raulston Arboretum on April 24, 2024.
We love talking to our fellow plant nerds! John Buettner is the Competitive Exhibits Coordinator at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds. He started out in the Flower and Garden Show as a competitor, then became Superintendent of the Flower show and now he's in the big office where he's taken over everything. Join us for this Garden Conversation where our Curator, Dennis Carey, sits down with John for a glimpse behind the scenes of the fair and the people who participate in it as well as a peek into John's personal home gardening obsession with exotic fruits. Perhaps he'll even bring some unusual jams for sampling!
