The Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden invites you to our next webinar on

In this lecture, he will highlight the stunning scenery as well as its people and of course, its amazingly diverse and exciting flora, including several Rhododendron species which were either unknown or quite rare in cultivation at the time.
