FROM THE WHONNOCK LAKE RHODODENDRON GARDEN COMMITTEE:
"My favourite rhododendron"
Your favourite might find a place in the Whonnock Lake Rhododendron Garden now being extended.
It would be there to delight visitors and it would greet you as an old friend when you return to the garden.
With over a hundred rhododendrons to be planted in a new area of landscaping,there is a good chance
that your best-loved plant will be particularly suitable for one of the areas we are planning.
What is special about your recommendation? Does it do exceptionally well in your garden
or have you seen and marvelled at it somewhere else? We would like to know about your favourite,
and please tell us some of the things that will help us to consider it for a special place in the garden.
You can be lyrical about flower colour and form and about it's leaves and appearance when not in flower.
Then there are the more factual details of flowering period, hardiness, wind tolerance and vigour.
Your local knowledge is valuable as we consider plants for various area of exposure,
shade and desired groupings.
Don't dig up your own special plant in a burst of generosity. It is probably bigger than the ideal size
for transplanting and we hope to buy most of our selections. Do please jot down notes about your choice
or choices and let us have them soon.
If you can help in maintaining or developing the garden at Whonnock, join us at one of our sociable working parties.
For dates phone 604-464-7979.
Scot Henney,
Chairperson - Whonnock Lake Rhododendron Garden Committee.
