Laureaat botanische jury - Educational & collection award 

11.05.2019 The Garden Days at Beervelde

Laureaat botanische jury - Educational award 

14.10.2018 The Garden Days at Beervelde

Award for the beautiful peony roots that encourage us to plant in the fall. 

"More and more garden experts are advising to plant peonies in the fall. Newly harvested and divided roots are ideal. Jeaninne Lemmens from Graefswinning tries to draw attention to this planting technique. Autumn is a good planting period for many plants and therefore also for those beautiful peonies. Hence Jeaninne Lemmens rightly receives the educational award from Beervelde."
