Hi Jane, My good friend Mike Stewart, past president of ARS, located in Sandy, just agreed to speak to the Ontario Rock Garden club in December. He has a great presentation on dwarf rhododendrons suitable for rock gardens. If you are interested, I will send you his contact info. He used to run Dover Nursery while his wife Maria was alive. I also have another friend from the Ottawa area. It would have to be zoom because he will not travel. He discovered double trilliums and hepaticas in Ottawa Valley. I have seen his presentation . Here is a confidential link to his presentation tomorrow at 1 pm EST. That is probably 10 am for you. You can then decide if it is something of interest. I was surprised to see his name in Mt. Cuba Gardens along with Fred Case, where he donated trilliums.
