We are sad to announce that our long time member Karin Hoeller has passed away at home.

Karin’s beautiful garden was often on our club’s annual summer garden tour where the shapely heathers in the front slope, the immaculate beloved roses by the house to the exotics by the pool in the back garden gave her and every visitor such delight. She was an early proponent of growing winter vegetables for fresh healthy greens all season long.

Karin often called me and we swapped plants and all her additions to our monthly plant table I gratefully received.

A loss to West Vancouver Garden Club.
