Join us on May 20th, 7:00 pm for our last official presentation for this season - St. Luke's United Church in Upper Tantallon.

We are please to have Michelle Mercier and Yvonne Chute share a wealth of information on Daylilies! Attend and bring a friend. Visitors pay $5.00 to attend. 
 

Learn how to grow and care for your daylilies, including important information on the effects of gall midge on developing buds. Michelle Mercier and Yvonne Chute will demonstrate how to divide a clump of daylilies, and participants will have the opportunity to take home a divided plant to grow in their own garden.

 

 

Michelle Mercier - "My home is in beautiful Shad Bay, Nova Scotia, close to the ocean, and on the way to Peggy’s Cove. I have lived in Nova Scotia most of my life and currently work as a healthcare IT consultant. My passion is gardening, and I have over 400 registered daylily cultivars in the garden, expanding it every year. I began hybridizing (growing) my own daylilies approximately 10 years ago."
 

Yvonne Chute - "I am a gardener who grew up with a family that gardened. I got into daylilies about 20 years ago and have no idea how many I have, but easily 300, probably a lot more. I joke that I plant with a shoe horn to fit all my plants in, which, while not true, my close spacing does help with not much room for weeds. Over the 15 years at my current home in Timberlea, I have managed to remove most of the lawn to add more garden beds."

We will have envelopes for cash donations to the St. Margaret's Bay Food Bank.
