Work Cited:

I mainly summarized from my notes in class. However, I used the Royal Horticultural Society website for information on Rhododendrons. It was informative and brief. However, it did not include the zones.

Royal Horticultural Society: https://www.rhs.org.uk/

If I could find something, I would default to using the Kwantlen plant database but I mostly wrote down what was discussed from the plant walk.
