Event Details

In January 2024, Retired Master Gardener Mary Ann Van Berlo spent three weeks touring gardens in both the north and south islands of New Zealand.  Mary Ann will share the amazing gardens and natural areas that were part of her journey.  The talk will show the different styles of gardens she visited – formal to English cottage gardens, exotic to native NZ plants.    Mary Ann will share some general info on New Zealand, but the gardens, plants, and garden designs will be the focus of her talk.

As a plant collector, Mary Ann’s garden features annuals, perennials, edibles, shrubs, and trees, some of which are uncommon or pushing the zone limit.
