MONTREAL, April 23, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ – To the delight of all lovers of
gardening and horticulture, the Space for Life presents the 16th
edition of the Great Gardening Weekend, held at the Montréal Botanical
Garden from May 24 to 26, 2013. Come stock up on ideas to create your perfect garden, drawing on the expert advice of young landscaping
professionals and the Botanical Garden’s own horticulturists. Enjoy the
festive, musical atmosphere while meeting producers of new, rare or
unusual plants as well as three artists whose paintings are inspired by
nature.
The Great Gardening Weekend: A beautifully arranged program
Imagine having the opportunity to meet over a hundred gardening and
landscaping specialists in the same day; speak to experts with
specialist knowledge of roses, bonsais and daylilies; buy magnificent
annuals and perennials while talking to their producers; discover
useful and original garden accessories—and don’t leave without at least
one of the 12,000 plants produced by the Botanical Garden’s
horticulturists.
The Great Gardening Weekend also features talks and demonstrations by
well-known personalities in the gardening world. And new this year, the
Friends of the Montréal Botanical Garden booth will offer tips for
growing and pruning vines in Québec.
The event will furthermore explore various themes, such as the beauty of
creating gardens that attract birds or butterflies, the joy of cooking
with seasonal vegetables and the art of gathering edible
mushrooms—fascinating topics sure to have you reaching for your
gardening tools!
And to top it all off…
The Great Gardening Weekend will culminate in the announcement of the
Winners of Horticultural Merit and the recipient of the Henry Teuscher
Award!
