Mark Weathington is the director of the JC Raulston Arboretum at North Carolina State University. As a devotee of low-input gardening, he searches for ornamental plants that provide beauty and utility to the garden without needing a surplus of time, energy, or chemicals to grow and thrive. Weathington spreads the word about these great plants in dozens of lectures a year, articles in most major gardening magazines, and a weekly newspaper column.
