On March 16, 2015 the Bowen Island Garden Club welcomes Charlie Sale who will give a presentation titled “Managing Shade.” Charlie describes himself as a “serious gardener” of 50 years. He will tell us how he and his wife have transformed over two acres of steep mountain terrain near Deep Cove into a magnificent woodland garden while still preserving the integrity and character of the surroundings.
Charlie is more than a serious gardener, he has been an active member of gardening circles in both Ontario and British Columbia.. He has served as president of the Toronto chapter of the Rhododendron Society, the board of the American Rhododendron Society and president of the Rhododendron Society of Canada. He was also a board member of the Royal Botanical Gardens Hamilton, Ontario. Currently, Charlie is an active member (and past executive member) of The Friends of the Garden at the University of British Columbia and served on the advisory committee of the Darts Hill Garden Conservancy Society of Surrey, BC and as vice president of the North American Rock Garden Society. He is also on the board of the Rhododendron Species Foundation in Federal Way, Washington, US.
Please join us at The Gallery at Artisan Square on March 16, 2015 at 1 PM.
