13996193_1112787938787701_2029520673089172923_oIn August of 2016, Brenda Ibey and her husband Clayton toured Gros Morne provincial park, Red Bay Labrador and many points in between. Brenda’s eye was tuned into the tiny alpine plants and rugged trees growing in this spectacular province. She will share photos and stories of what they saw on this trip. Clayton was the trip planner and will share more information on the parks and history they saw on their adventure. They will both be available after the talk to answer any other specific questions guests may have for planning their own trip to the rock.

The Lakeffeb17ield Horticultural Society welcomes you to the Marshland Centre. Free admission and guests are always welcome.
