The Intrepid Plant Hunters – A Dangerous Life
Get ready to be captivated by the daring adventures and fascinating legacy of rhododendron enthusiasts
As you gaze upon the serene expanse of your garden, you may not be aware that plant life from all over the globe is spread out before you. Our common garden plants are from every corner of the earth, and the searchers for botanical treasure risked life and limb to bring them home.
Join us Sunday for the stories and adventures of some of these hunters who braved the far reaches of the known world, and in doing so furthered botanical, medical, and geographic knowledge because of their discoveries.
Monthly Meeting
Our monthly chapter meetings are held at The Hub, 2375 Koksilah Road, Duncan, B.C. on the first Wednesday of September, October, November, February, March,
April, and May – starting at 7:00 pm.
