Event Details

Retired Master Gardener and plant collector extraordinaire Mary Ann Van Berlo will take us on her recent tour of the intriguing gardens of the south and north islands of New Zealand with an added emphasis on the water gardens, ponds and wetlands she discovered throughout.

Presenter

Mary Ann Van Berlo

Mary Ann Van Berlo has a large garden on the St. Lawrence River that was created about 12 years ago. Her garden is open for tours and in July she hosts an annual open garden day with another beautiful garden nearby. 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. She is a retired Master Gardener but is still very active in the gardening community.
