Over the past three decades, Jane Pepper has led tours to gardens in France, Germany, England, and Kenya. One of her favorite places to visit is Scotland, where she was raised. Through an illustrated talk, we will accompany Jane on the visit she made last year in June when the roses and perennials were bursting with bloom. Most of the gardens in this presentation are small and personal and, in addition to the landscapes, Jane will introduce us to their engaging garden owners. One of her favorite places, Mertoun Gardens, which Jane used to visit as a child, was built in 1703 and is today the home of the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland. For almost 30 years, until her retirement this past May, Jane led the now 182-year-old Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, overseeing the Society’s activities and programs, including the renowned Philadelphia International Flower Show, and Philadelphia Green, a national model for neighborhood revitalization.  Instructor: Jane G.
