Lois Hole - St. Albert, Alberta Coming from a modest, prairie background, Lois Hole made her mark on the Canadian gardening scene with the creation of what many consider a gardening empire: Hole's Greenhouses and Gardens. But her accomplishments did not stop here... she also authored many best-selling gardening books, was Lieutenant Governor of Alberta and was named to the Order of Canada. Above all though, Lois' passion was to combine her love of horticulture with public service. A passion which today is carried on memory by her sons Bill and Jim.
