This talk will explore the many forms of shrubs and their effective use in landscape design while also considering  the colourful variety of blooms and foliage available today to brighten up and add structure to your garden.

Karen Sciuk, a resident of Wellesley, a small Mennonite town just west of Waterloo, is a board member of the Kitchener Horticultural Society, and an active member of the Kitchener Master Gardeners.  During fall 2017, she had the pleasure of working with the Rockway Gardens staff to plant all the spring bulbs and witnessed daily the importance and popularity of that space with the public. Currently, to satisfy her love of horticulture, Karen is a garden coach in her community and helps to maintain some private residential gardens.  Prior to November 2015, Karen was an active member of both the Oshawa Garden Club and the Durham Master Gardeners, and worked as the Manager/Buyer in the trees/shrubs/perennials department of an Oshawa area Garden Centre.
