The plaque says:
The Ted and Mary Greig Rhododendron Garden
Dedicated to Ted and Mary Greig, pioneers in Rhododendron culture in British Columbia. They were awarded a gold medal by the American Rhododendron Society in 1965. The Griegs established a nursery at Royston on Vancouver Island in 1935. Their Rhododendron collection was acquired by the Vancouver Parks Board in 1966. Some of the Greig hybrids in this garden are unique in that they combine fragrance with mid-summer bloom, both rare qualities in Rhododendrons.
This plaque dedicated June, 1989.
