Speaker: Christiane Williams. Christiane’s grandfather started to teach her about gardening when she was a child growing up in France. He was a vintner, horticultor and a great gardener. From the time she was small she was taught how to pick seeds from plants, sort them and plant them. She learned about propagating plants from cuttings and grafting. She has carried all her learning experience when she came the US and put it into practice at her house in College Park. She started by propagating Azaleas from cuttings. She also learned about the wild plants and shrubs that grow in this country and saved many plants from being destroyed by new development. In the past she belonged to the following clubs: Washington Orchid society, Beltsville Garden Club, Audubon, and the SPCA, specializing in wildlife. She was president of the Hollywood Farmers Market where she supported and brought vendors that were organic farmers.
