Upcoming Speaker

Upcoming Speaker

Ryo Sugiyama
Curator, Nitobe Japanese Gardens

Ryo Sugiyama, curator of UBC's renowned Nitobe Memorial Garden, brings a wealth of expertise and passion to one of North America's finest traditional Japanese gardens. With a master's degree in landscape science from Chiba University and tutelage under a disciple of the garden's original designer, Sugiyama was destined to take on this role. His journey began in 2005 when he first visited the garden and met the previous curator, Junji Shinada, who later entrusted him with its care. As the sole gardener, Sugiyama meticulously preserves the garden’s authentic Japanese style, balancing tradition with the challenges of Vancouver’s unique climate. We’re so excited to welcome Ryo to Squamish Gardeners Club on October 21!

Our first #fall #fieldtrip was nothing short of #spectacular! Over a dozen of our #gardenclub members had an amazing tour at @bloomandbreezefarm in the upper Squamish valley. Paula graciously showed us around her #flowerfarm including seedling & seed #dahlia beds, #lavender beds, a u-pick #flower stand, all sorts of cutting flower beds including, #zinnias , #strawflowers , #amaranth , #eucalyptus & many other #beautiful floral varieties & of course #dahlias. We also had a special tour of her #secretgarden in the #rainforest & in the end a couple of us enjoyed a u-pick #bouquet. Definitely worth a visit to pick a custom bouquet right in our own backyard at @bloomandbreezefarm !
