Plant Pathology for home gardeners

We are a dedicated group interested in preserving Darts Hill Garden Park as a plantsman’s garden. Inspired by the spirit and vision of Francisca Darts who— with her husband Edwin—so graciously donated the property to the City of Surrey, the Society seeks to continue the development of the garden and to extend opportunities to the public to enjoy the garden as well as to make their own special contributions.The City of Surrey worked directly with Francisca Darts in the development of a purpose, vision and overall guiding principles for the garden. This ensures that in the future the garden will continue to be managed in accordance with her wishes.The City and the Society are excited about the future of Darts Hill Garden Park. The garden is a place of horticultural learning, where enthusiastic amateur gardeners rub shoulders with professional horticulturists to view some of the finest and most mature horticultural specimens in the Pacific Northwest.

Here is a hands-on workshop about plant disease problems and diagnostics in the garden. Dress for the weather: we will be looking at actual specimens in the garden.Please bring your smartphones (no data or wifi required) and a hand lens if you have one, as they are great tools in diagnosis. Some of the experience will be about how to think about problems, which is a more complete experience. This will help you continue learning as the season progresses.

Bring your (charged up) smart phone and a hand lens if you have one.Wear sturdy footwear, bring water and a snack.If you have a question, bring a sample in a sealed plastic zip bagWorkshop space is limited to 12.Park in the reserved parking lot off 168th Avenue, 1680 - 168th Street.
