At each meeting, we are very privilaged to have Douglas Justice, Associate Director, Curator of Collections at the UBC Botanical Garden, bring in a bouquet of cuttings. Douglas is a long time member of the VRS. He brings these cuttings from interesting plants at the UBC Botanical Garden that just happen to be showing their glory at the particular time of year. Douglas, being a highly knowledgable plantsman, gives a 15-20 minute presentation covering each plant, some history, characteristics, and many other interesting facts. The plants are passed around through the audience so each member can see, smell, touch (hopefully not taste) the plants. Its is a wonderfully informative session and definitely a popular segment of our monthly meetings.
