The grandson of the man who created England’s Exbury Gardens will make a special presentation in Nanaimo, hosted by the Nanaimo Rhododendron Society.
Lionel de Rothschild, whose grandfather of the same name created the gardens in the early 1900s, will present Exbury Gardens: Past and Present at Beban Park next week.
Rothschild – who has written and lectured on Exbury Gardens, rhododendrons and other Rothschild gardens, is a trustee of the Rothschild Archive in London, England, and sits on the Garden Council of Borde Hill Gardens in West Sussex – will talk about Exbury Gardens’ history and plants.
Rothschild’s presentation is 7:30 p.m., April 22, at the Beban Park social centre. The event is open to the public and admission is free.
