Burlingame propagated and grew native plants for 30 years at Laurel Springs Nursery in Hendersonville, NC until his retirement in 2012. The meadows and forests of the Southern Appalachians provide inspiration for his native landscape designs, with “Nature as the Teacher.” Wes was a Peace Corps volunteer in Thailand, where he continues to explore. More recently, he has been designing and planting native landscapes in support of people, wildlife, and conservation. Burlingame enjoys training others to both use and appreciate native plants.
