Sonnenberg Gardens Director, David Hutchings, met with us before he headed out to do some chainsaw work. He told us about upcoming events at Sonnenberg including a visit from Claudia West.
We began our tour through the greenhouses with Sonnenberg's Volunteer and Education Coordinator, Pam Gangloff. First through the future Rain Forrest...
Then passed the orchids... (Sonnenberg's Orchid show is April 21-23, 2017)
and the succulents...
and into the conservatory...
We then settled for a bit in the warm and dry Head House where volunteers meet on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to assist around the gardens. It was here that Barb Stahl did a wonderful job sharing with us the research that she has put together about Frederick Ferris Thompson.
Our gratitude to Barb and Pam for a wonderfully warm welcome to Sonnenberg. Our hopes are to continue into research with Sonnenberg using Canandaigua Botanical Society records. Anyone interested in helping out in this endeavor should let us know at canandaiguabotanical@gmail.com.
If you are interested in becoming more involved with Sonnenberg please contact volunteers@sonnenberg.org or check out http://www.sonnenberg.org/volunteer/
You may also plan to attend the volunteer recruitment event on April 22!
