The Canadian Peony Society (CPS) has donated a rare Adrienne Clarkson Peony to the Castlegar

Station Museum Garden, in honour of the upcoming B.C./Yukon 2015 Peony Show.

This show will be in Castlegar BC on June 27 and 28, 2015.

Holly Pender-Love, CPS co-director of the B.C./Yukon Region explains, “this special peony was developed by Maurice Menard  of Laval, Quebec, in recognition of Governor General Adrienne Clarkson. This peony may be seen in the gardens at Rideau Hall in Ottawa.”

“We are deeply honored to receive this donation, for the City of Castlegar.”

The Castlegar Peony show committee encourages gardeners, florists and growers alike to enter blooms in the show.

Peony entries will be judged by Carol and Jim Adelman of Salem, Oregon. Carol is President of the Pacific Northwest Peony Society, a director of the American Peony Society, and grows peonies commercially at Adelman Peony Gardens. They have consistently won the coveted American Peony Society’s Best of Show eight times in the last 11 years.

Carol will be speaking at the Castlegar Peony Show   at the Castlegar Community Complex on June 27.

Tickets will be available locally and online.

“Carol is very active in Peony circles worldwide and we are very fortunate to have a judge of this calibre coming to Castlegar,” stated show chairperson, Pender-Love. “We  are looking forward to a great weekend .”

This special event is sponsored by the Canadian Peony Society, Castlegar Communities in Bloom and the Castlegar Garden Club.

Rare Peony Donated to Station Garden Musuem

Holly Pender-Love, co-director of the British Columbia/Yukon Region of the Canadian Peony Society has learned that the Station Garden Museum is to be the recipient of the rare and beautiful Adrienne Clarkson Peony.

The Adrienne Clarkson Peony is a single, white peony with a yellow centre, the translucent white petals are of exquisite beauty. Adrienne Clarkson was a supporter of the Canadian Peony Society and during her tenure as Governor General of Canada the society had several peony shows at Rideau Hall in Ottawa.

The public is encouraged to stay tuned for the arrival of this very special peony. Organizers are planning a planting ceremony with local dignitaries at the Station Garden Museum.

Local member, Adriana Work donated several peony root divisions last fall to the Station Garden to augment their peony display. The Castlegar Garden Club and Communities in Bloom members donate their time to the upkeep and maintenance of this lovely, downtown garden.  The Garden Club has their very successful plant sale at the Station Garden Museum early May each year.

said show chair Pender-Love.

“We are so pleased with the positive comments we are getting from local gardeners and residents of the region,” explained Pender-Love.

“Castlegar is definitely a can- do city. It will be a feather in our cap for securing this show in our small city,” said Darlene Kalawsky.

Other committee members are: Adriana Work, vice-president, Arlene Chapman and Connie Smith — organizers of the luncheon and presentation June 27 ­ Janette Dascent, chair of the decorating committee and Carolyn McKinnon, local peony enthusiast.

There will be both amateur and professional entries in the flower arranging category in this show as well as entries from around the country, possibly as far away as Ontario and the Pacific Northwest states.

“Our focus is on local bloom entries,” said Pender-Love. “We want to showcase the beautiful peonies local gardeners have growing in their yards.”

Carol Adelman has agreed to give a presentation, Growing and Caring for Peonies, at the luncheon. The luncheon and presentation will be held at the Castlegar Community Complex, and tickets must be purchased in advance of this event.
