For Our April Meeting, Thursday, April 13, 2017, Egan Davis!
We
are so lucky that the entertaining and passionate Egan Davis has agreed to come
back to speak at the Grandview Garden Club. This month's talk is about how to
recognize what is eating your plants and what you can do about it.
Egan
is a leader in the professional horticulture industry, a qualified Red Seal
Horticulturalist. He is the chief instructor for the Horticulture Training
Program at the University of British Columbia and is a delightful and
knowledgeable speaker.
With
past experience at VanDusen Botanical Garden, Park & Tilford Gardens, and
the Mendel Floral conservatory in Saskatoon, Egan has a unique background
focused on public and on botanical gardens. For his entire career, Egan has
also run a residential garden consultation, design, and build company. As a
board member of HortEdBC, Egan has contributed to the industry and has a keen
interest in promoting the Red Seal certificate in BC.
As
usual, we will meet in the "LRC" — the Britannia Learning Resources
Centre, which is under the VPL library. As you're walking toward the library,
veer left, walk alongside the library, and you'll come to a ramp entry to the
LRC on your right. We start at 7:00 and end before 9:00.
Do
bring your friends, your gardening questions and concerns, and your ideas for
topics or speakers for upcoming meetings. We always have tea and goodies and a
few door prizes.
