Topic: How to Divide Dahlias

8:00pm Speaker: Barrie Agar
Topic: Japanese Gardens

Japanese Gardens are admired in a great many different countries and cultures, and very different from the Western aesthetic. This talk and slideshow will give an overview of various influences on the development of this garden art form, and how it applies to the modern garden.

Bio: Barrie started her horticultural career in a market garden on a large estate in Ireland with a large walled garden and espaliered trees. She did her initial horticultural training at Greenmount Agricultural College in Northern Ireland. She has worked in a wide variety of nurseries and gardens in BC and Ireland and has recently retired from being Head Gardener at Hatley Park at Royal Roads University, which has an early Canadian Japanese Garden.
