Please join us at our Zoom meeting as we start out 2021 with speaker Becky Swenson of Swenson Gardens. Â Becky will be talking about and showing us all the beautiful varieties of Peonies that are available at Swensons. Â She will also be talking about proper planting and care. Â As part of our summer tour schedule, we will be touring Swenson Gardens in June of this year. Â
Becky Swenson, along with her husband Keith own Swenson Gardens, a peony farm located in
Howard Lake, Minnesota. Swenson Gardens is considered the world’s largest chemical-free
peony farm and hybridizer of new peony varieties. They ship thousands of bare-roots every fall
to gardeners across the US and internationally. Over 15,000 plants in thousands of different
varieties fill their fields, and world-class colors and no-staking varieties are their specialty.
Swensons have been featured in numerous local and national publications, including the Wall
Street Journal. They were named the 2019 Wright County Farm Family of the Year and in 2020
Becky was recognized as one of the Top 5 Women Farmers by FarmFest Minnesota. When she
is not working outside, she enjoys photography, hiking, and discovering really great coffee
shops.
