September Topic:

“Ideas for American Gardens from England” with Karen Chapman.

The first meeting of the Birchwood Garden Club’s 2026-27 season will be held September 2, 2026, in the Rotunda Room of the Old City Hall Museum, 121 Prospect St., Bellingham, WA 98225. Doors open at 6:30 PM.

The speaker will be Karen Chapman of Le jardinet, who was
born in England and, as she puts it, grew up with a trowel in her hand. She moved to the Pacific Northwest in 1996, and since then has worked for leading garden nurseries and established her business, Le jardinet, to provide garden design services. Karen offers workshop events, publications, and online learning opportunities as well as leading garden tours in Great Britain, United States, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand with a special focus on her native England. Karen's presentation will be “Ideas for American Gardens from England.” Join us for what promises to be a most interesting presentation!
