Description

In this episode Christina and Connor tell the story of Leslie Hancock, a pioneer in Canadian Rhododendron breeding and horticulture and founder of the Hancock Woodlands in Mississauga, Ontario Canada. We hear from Woodlands Horticulturalist Stacey Sylvestri about how the next generation is carrying on Hancock’s botanical legacy and commitment to community outreach. We also meet Hancock’s grand-daughter Carol, who shares memories of her childhood growing up in a plant nursery, where life was just a bit different. The towering oaks and pines, and multi-colored Rhododendrons of the Woodland Nursery provided plenty of material for a child's imagination, and the garden developed such a personality of its own that they even named the trees, including four iconic pine trees that still stand today as the hallmark of Hancock Woodlands, embodying the words of John Muir, “Between every two pines is a doorway to a new world.”
