"Gardening in the South Island of New Zealand" with Dave Toole



Dave (t00lie) is well known to many members and our website Forumists. He gardens in the far south of the South Island of New Zealand, in a climate very similar to Scotland.


Dave says:
'Our property 'Trillium Haven' is situated in a woodland setting and could be described as a garden of 2 halves …we will firstly stroll around shaded areas, home to numerous trilliums and the like, mostly raised from seed and then 'so called' sunnier spots viewing the results of converting existing plots into sand beds to accommodate an increasing collection of alpines.  At times I have been called a hopeless plantaholic , a title I wear with some pride so please be prepared for an overdose of greenery and colour. Sunglasses are optional!'

SRGC 90th Anniversary Free Talks: Saturday 25th November 2023 - via Zoom, 7pm GMT for 7.15pm start  - "The Dry Side... Rock gardening in the rain shadow climate of eastern Vancouver Island, BC, Canada"  with Paul Spriggs
Paul has extensive experience of plants and gardening. He has specialised in the development and construction of rock gardens and is joint author, along with Kenton Seth, of the excellent book ‘The Crevice Garden’ published in 2022. Paul was a key part of the team involved in the SRGC project to build a crevice garden at Inverewe Gardens, Wester Ross, Scotland in 2019.
We are pleased to welcome Paul to share his own experiences of gardening in Vancouver Island, Canada which again has a climate with similarities to that experienced by many of our Members.
