Gardens of Blarney Castle presented by Lori Beckerton

Travel to Ireland Without Leaving Your Seat!
Join the North Bay Horticultural Society on Monday, September 15, for an enchanting evening with Lori Beckerton as she presents:

"Gardens of Blarney Castle: A Botanical Journey Through County Cork"

Lori is a biologist, native plant advocate, and longtime board member of Friends of Laurier Woods. She's known for her popular guided hikes on edible, medicinal, and poisonous plants, and she’s a proud Butterflyway Ranger with the David Suzuki Foundation — transforming her garden into a native plant haven and trying to inspire everyone else to do the same!

Last summer, Lori was gifted the adventure of a lifetime: a whirlwind road trip across Ireland!
She and her daughter explored the lushest corners of the Emerald Isle, culminating in a magical day at Blarney Castle, where they wandered through gardens straight out of a fairy tale — from carnivorous plants to poisonous species, and everything in between.

Lori will share stories and stunning photos from gardens like:

The Himalayan Garden
The Vietnamese Garden
The Fern Garden
The Poison Garden
And more!
