The daughter and granddaughter of farmers, Sonya White’s childhood in Northeast England literally revolved around planting, harvesting and a deep, practical appreciation for Earth’s bounties. She resigned from a 30 year career in Health Care and Clinical Development when she married her American husband in 2003 and moved to South Carolina in 2004. She now has the opportunity to indulge her passion for English gardening and the ancient meanings of plants and flowers. Sonya will take the group on a pictorial English garden tour of preserved early gardens from different eras in her homeland and offer suggestions for planning and nurturing your own garden in stages.
As a 501(c) 3 tax exempt organization, donations to the foundation may be tax deductible.
