Presenter

Mary Ann Van Berlo

Mary Ann Van Berlo is an avid gardener who enjoys everything horticulture.  She collects plants and her
2.4-acre garden on the St. Lawrence River has many uncommon varieties.  Mary Ann is not afraid to
push the zone limit, and grows a number of plants that shouldn’t really be hardy in this area.   In June
2017, Mary Ann’s garden was featured in Ontario Gardener Magazine.

​The Ottawa Valley Rock Garden & Horticultural Society (OVRGHS).

We are affiliated with both the North American Rock Garden Society (NARGS) and the Ontario Horticultural Association (OHA).

Our Society was formed in November 1992. Although the faces have changed somewhat since then, the objectives of the Society have remained the same: to promote and support “rock gardening” on a non-profit basis.

Over the years, we have built upon the solid foundation of the original group. We offer our members:

  • monthly meetings from September through May featuring local, national and international speakers,

  • periodic newsletters per year

  • an annual seed exchange,

  • spring plant sales each year,

  • garden tours and field trips,

  • workshops and demonstrations,


New members are always welcome.
