Upcoming Events

Snow Ferreniea is English, learning initially about plants and gardening from
her parents, both of whom were avid gardeners. She also received her
formal education in horticulture in England. Coming to America in the 70’s,
she continued to pursue her passion for plants, especially native ones, as a
professional horticulturist.

Snow was director of horticulture at Garden in the Woods. She has also
worked at the New Your Botanical Garden, Holden Arboretum and Wayside
Gardens.

On retiring in 2013, she began the creation of her own garden where she
blended many of the plants she loves. The garden has a special emphasis on
the wildflowers that are so abundant in southwest Virginia.

Over the years she has shared her experiences in the fascinating world of
plants, teaching classes and workshops wherever she has worked.
