DR BRUCE GILMAN: The PLANT MAN
It is a well-known fact that our beloved Plant Man’s
favorite tree is the Tulip tree which stands tall, slender and handsome. On Saturday, July 27, 2024 we will dedicate a
plaque near the tulip tree at the FLCC Arboretum to honor Dr. Bruce Gilman for
his immeasurable contributions, expertise, and commitment to the Canandaigua
Botanical Society since 1976.
Following the plaque dedication we enjoyed a tour of the FLCC Arboretum with The Plant Man.
