19th Annual Waterlily Celebration
Saturday June, 15
8:30am - 2pm
The International Waterlily and Water Gardening Society awarded the distinction to
McKee Botanical Garden which now joins an elite group of only seven botanical gardens in the world recognized for their excellence in waterlilies and water gardening.
| |
Waterlilies have been celebrated in the pools, ponds and watery mazes of McKee since the garden first opened in 1932. These living collections have astonishing colors, mysterious openings and varied pedal and leaf patterns and sizes and have captivated visitors since McKee reintroduced the collection when the garden re-opened in 2001.
The International Waterlily and Water Gardening Society (IWGS) formed in 1984 as a group of water gardening enthusiasts who wanted to enhance and expand the information available about waterlilies and water gardening. The immediate success of the organization led to spectacular interest and growth and now enables IWGS to host annual symposiums, provide grants and funding and networking opportunities for hybridizers and growers.
McKee has courted recognition by the IWGS for many years, with a determined effort by McKee’s aquatic expert, Nikki Wojtowicz to meet the high standards of the IWGS. Of the 100 plus varieties grown at McKee, 50 were identified in the past as worthy of distinction by the IWGS and this year, 48 of those 50 received Certified Collection of Excellence. McKee’s waterlily collection is now one of only seven in the world with this exceptional distinction
| |
This important recognition highlights McKee Botanical Garden’s commitment to horticultural excellence and its exceptional contributions to the study and display of waterlilies and aquatic plants under McKee’s director of horticulture and research, Andreas Daehnick. Nikki Wojtowicz will continue her education in this specialized field as an attendee of this year’s IWGS Symposium in Reading, UK July 16 – 20.
McKee Botanical Garden’s 19th Annual Waterlily Celebration is Saturday, June 15, 2024, from 8:30 am to 2:00 pm. In addition to the spectacular and award-winning waterlily display the celebration will feature a photo contest, repotting demonstrations, plant vendors, plein air artists, wire art, wood crafts and handmade baskets. The Garden Café will be open from 8:45 am until 3:00 pm.

Be transported to Los Angeles’ celebrated Sunset Strip of the last 1960s and 70s and immerse yourself in rock and roll nostalgia with the summer exhibition Rock ‘N’ Roll Billboards of the Sunset Strip: Photographs by Robert Landau.
In those years, the Sunset Strip was the heart and soul of a vibrant music scene – home to record companies, record stores, and legendary nightclubs. Through the lens of his camera, photographer Robert Landau chronicled these pop masterpieces that only lasted a few weeks before being dismantled. White-washed, and pained over with newer images.

The VBMA exhibition comprises 50 photographs; four of which are presented on a monumental scale. Some of the musical artists represented on the billboards include: The Beatles, Donna Summer, The Eagles, John Lennon, Madonna, Queen, Rod Stewart, The Rolling Stones, and many more.
