If you're a fan of lilies, don't miss this presentation by Woodruff Imberman, Wisconsin Illinois Lily Society president. Those attending will be taught simple propagation techniques, learn about the wide variety of lilies that flourish in our area, and how to design a garden where some lilies are in bloom all summer long. Woodruff lectures widely on lilies at garden clubs throughout the Midwest. He is also the author of numerous articles in regional and national horticultural magazines on lilies, is an amateur lily hybridizer, an accredited international lily judge, and has won many awards for his lilies.
