Member Garden Visit - Carnivorous Plants, Lilies, and a Crevice Garden

(limit 35 guests)

The executive director of Gardeners Connect the Gardeners Connect newsletter editor again are inviting members to their garden to see if anyone notices changes from 2023. A flagstone fairy seems to have visited and left 2 or 3 tons of flagstones since last summer, and so visitors may rate the new walkway around Chuck’s front bed, which he has referred to as his “Boomerang Bed” because of its shape. However, he is considering calling it “Liliphilia” because of the lilies there. In addition to the Gardeners Connect newsletter, he also edits the North American Lily Society Quarterly Bulletin. Also, there have been physical upgrades to Brian’s carnivorous plant collection, and they are seeing if the name “Carnivory” is a good fit for this part of their combined gardens. Also, inspired by Kansas City Garden Symposium speaker Joseph Tychonievich, there is a new crevice garden installed. It replaces a planting of Echinacea paradoxa and pallida, which tended to lean and trip people on a rock walkway. Those beloved plants have been planted elsewhere. Come see these and other changes to the garden.

This garden is located in Raytown.

Exact location will be emailed to attendees the week before the Member Garden Visit.
