Our April Speaker is Elizabeth Cull, owner of Dig This—Oak Bay (1990 Oak Bay Ave 250 598 0802) and now the Pacific Horticultural Centre gift shop. Elizabeth will discuss: selecting the latest lightweight containers; creating complete vegetable gardens on patios & balconies; and designing ornamental containers that never fail to impress. The passionate self-taught gardener comes from a long line of gardeners. “My great-grandfather had a palm house in England,” Elizabeth reveals. The Cull family garden is unruly cottage-style full of roses & bursts of tender tropicals.
