Birchwood Garden Club member, Ira Penn, will be giving a presentation on hybridizing. Ira has been gardening for 72 years and is an experienced hybridizer. At the peak of his hybridizing efforts he was growing 5,000 seedlings in his Nashville, Tennessee garden.

Now you can find out where new flowers and vegetables come from. Although seemingly a magical process requiring vast amounts of esoteric knowledge, Ira says it’s not that difficult. With some basic information (and lots of patience), you can be a hybridizer. Come join us for a most interesting and informative presentation. As always, friends are welcome!
