On September 21, the Bowen Island Garden Club welcomes John Folkerts of Linnaea Nurseries, a 60-acre wholesale nursery that grows 700 different species of trees and shrubs. It specializes in the production of hardy nursery stock and plants native to the Pacific Northwest.
John is a graduate in biological sciences with an emphasis on horticulture and has extensive experience in both retail and large wholesale plant and tree-growing operations. He will talk about the history and evolution of Linnaea and what is involved in propagating and growing 200-plus species of native plants at the nursery.
He plans to bring plants to his presentation for demonstration purposes.
Please join us at the Gallery at Artisan Square on September 21 at 1pm. Everyone is welcome.
