Carrie Nelson, president of the Cowichan Valley Rhododendron Society, is extending an invitation to gardeners and others to its Oct. 7 meeting at St. John’s Anglican Church hall in Duncan at 7:30 p.m. for a virtual tour.
“We are featuring a special presentation on our successful spring 2015 tour of southeast England gardens,” she explained.
“We had 47 people from Vancouver Island, the mainland, Saltspring and the U.S. on this fabulous two-week trip that visited 17 gardens and many historic sites in London, Cornwall and Devon in May this year. Bill Dumont, the tour guide will be presenting an illustrated overview of this special tour that included historic rhododendron gardens, castles, huge estates and finishing up at the world class Chelsea Garden Show in London.”
