I look forward to spring for many reasons, not the least of which is the emergence and bloom time of the trilliums. There’s a saying that good things come in threes, and trilliums are certainly proof of that. 

I talked about trilliums and more with Uli Lorimer of Native Plant Trust in Massachusetts, where they’re about to celebrate their 10th annual Trillium Week, and the organization is celebrating its 125th anniversary, too. 

Uli is director of horticulture at Native Plant Trust, the nation’s oldest plant conservation organization, founded in 1900 as the New England Wild Flower Society. Uli, who is also the author of the “Northeast Native Plant Primer,” was longtime curator of the Native Flora Garden at Brooklyn Botanic Garden before joining Native Plant Trust in 2019.
