Members Showcase: Virginia Hildebrandt will present “Preparing a New Bed for a Rock Garden”

By popular demand, Virginia Hildebrandt will present a brief description of how, for those of us who have not yet established a rock garden, we can prepare the soil. A brief “Pass the Mike" with suggestions of favourite rock garden plants will be encouraged after her session.

Virginia needs no introduction to ORG&HPS, as she is a frequent contributor to our meetings. For those who have yet to meet her, Virginia is an experienced horticulturalist, source of inspiration, and the source of many of the plants growing in our gardens.
