THE BARRHAVEN GARDEN CLUB AND THE OTTAWA VALLEY ROCK GARDEN HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY ARE PLEASED TO BRING YOU AN AFTERNOON PRESENTATION WITH MICHAEL RUNTZ, AWARD-WINNING UNIVERSITY LECTURER, AUTHOR, PHOTOGRAPHER AND NATURALIST. WE LOVE WILDFLOWERS FOR THEIR UNRIVALLED BEAUTY. BUT THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO THESE STUNNING PLANTS THAN JUST GOOD LOOKS. BEHIND THE VEIL OF BEAUTY LIES A FASCINATING WORLD FULL OF CHEMICAL WEAPONRY, EXPLOSIVE DEVICES, BRIBES AND EVEN DOWNRIGHT LIES. MICHAEL RUNTZ, AWARD WINNING UNIVERSITY LECTURER, AUTHOR AND PHOTOGRAPHER WILL GIVE A HIGHLY VISUAL OVERVIEW OF THIS FASCINATING WORLD. AFTER THE PRESENTATION SOME OF MICHAEL’S AND BRITTA’S BOOKS, CALENDARS AND PRINTS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR SALE.
