Join author and owner of Phoenix Perennials in Richmond, Gary Lewis, to hear all about groundcovers. Gary is the author of several books, including most recently “The Complete Book of Ground Covers: 4000 Plants That Reduce Maintenance, Control Erosion, and Beautify the Landscape.”
Ground covers are widely thought of as utilitarian, but these plants also offer a diverse range of beautiful and intriguing options with a variety of colors, textures, and forms. They can unify a landscape, knit together plantings and hardscape, and add extra layers of beauty, dynamism, and surprise. As a replacement for lawns, they can reduce our use of water, fertilizer, pesticides, herbicides, carbon-based fuels, and transform a yard into a diverse landscape of habitat and food for native insects, birds, and other wildlife.
Phoenix Perennials and Specialty Plants is a multi-award-winning, destination retail and mail-order nursery offering one of the largest selections of perennials in Canada with over 5000 different garden plants each year, much of which we grow ourselves. They also offer 2500 of their plants each year for online ordering and shipping within Canada. They focus on cutting-edge new cultivars, garden stalwarts, and the rare and unusual with a notably deep focus on perennials including hellebores, hardy ground orchids, and shade plants, plus succulents, rare bulbs, hardy subtropicals, and rare and unusual edibles. They also carry great selections of vines, shrubs, unusual trees, ground covers, grasses, ferns, dwarf conifers, houseplants, and much more.
Gary will be bringing plants to sell during what promises to be a popular evening at the Garden Club.
