September meeting topic: Pure Peonies with Angela Kenworthy.
The September 4, 2024, meeting of the Birchwood Garden Club will be held in the Rotunda Room of the Old City Hall Museum, 121 Prospect St., Bellingham, WA 98225. Doors open at 6:30 PM.
The speaker for the evening will be Angela Kenworthy from Pure Peonies (a family business) in Everson, WA. https://purepeonies.com. They grow over 135 varieties of peonies and they have a robust plant and bouquet business that supplies numerous wholesale partners, florists, and event planners across the U.S. and Canada.
Both tree and herbaceous peonies bring armfuls of spectacular flowers to our gardens in May and June. No garden is complete without a few of these sumptuous bloomers. Tree peonies are inspiring specimen or accent plants. Herbaceous peonies play nicely in perennial borders or mixed beds and provide a color blast to spring.
Now for the great part… Fall is the perfect time to plant these wonderful garden additions. Angela will be providing an overview of the varieties as well as the care requirements for these terrific plants.
