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

“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 .”
