Featured Speaker
Jeannie Suffern, President International Waterlily and Water Gardening Society
Jeannie Suffern is the co-owner of Aqualine Aquatic Plants & Waterfeatures, located in Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada. Her mission is simple: promoting the growing of aquatic plants in Alberta, where temperatures range from 00C to -35C during approx. 5 months of winter, and up to +30C in the summertime, where the season is short but the daylight hours are long (17-19 hours daily). She shares her passion for water lilies with her customers, and delights in introducing them to the world of tropical water lilies. She became vice-president of the IWGS in 2018, and took on the role of IWGS president in 2022.
Jeannie also served as a director for the Alberta Invasive Species Council (AISC) and for the Colchester Agriculture Society until 2023 when she termed out as director. She continues to be involved with the AISC and manages their website maintenance.
Even before joining our Board, Jeannie managed to scan ALL of our past Water Garden Journals so that we could archive them on our website.
