“Ferns and Friends – Gardening in the shadows!”
We are delighted to welcome Janis Matson back to the club to speak to us on “Ferns and Friends”. Janis is an accomplished garden designer and creator, with lots of great ideas on how to fashion atmosphere and mood in your garden.
On the west coast we have many shady corners where we can use ferns and shade tolerant perennials to add colour, texture, form and fun into the garden. An engaging and informative speaker, Janis will share some of her favourites and has forwarded a handout with the names of the plants she features.
As the owner of Shoreline Landscape Design in Burnaby for over 20 years, she enjoys using her creativity in the challenge of making garden spaces look and feel good. In addition to her landscaping business, Janis was a faculty instructor at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in Langley with the horticultural diploma and apprenticeship programs and now teaches at the University of Victoria.
