Our next meeting is Tuesday, June 5 7:30 pm

Clash of the Horticultural Titans

Victoria is rich with horticultural experts. A few have achieved god-like status. Sharing their knowledge and experience with VHS members in panel format, our “Titans” for the evening will be, in alphabetical order:
Jeff de Jong; Neil Knowlton; Diane Pierce; Christon Smith; and Carmen Varcoe.

Jeff de Jong, curator of Abkhazi Garden, is a garden writer and broadcaster.

Neil Knowlton, long time VHS member, is a professional gardener and radio personality.

Diane Pierce, long time VHS Plant Stall organizer, is an instructor at HCP.

Christon Smith, a perennial specialist, is co-owner of wholesale nursery C&C.

Carmen Varcoe, woodland garden specialist, is a horticultural instructor.

Greek gods were competitive, so we’ll provide our Titans with a series of challenges testing their horticultural might. In the end, one will rise above the others to be crowned the 2012 Victoria Horticultural Titan!! Don’t miss it!!
