Ieuan Evans, who is a horticulturist,  and was a specialist in  plant disease and a research scientist for Alberta Agriculture, discovered a gardener, identified as "Mrs Bower," who lived northeast of Edmonton near Fort Saskatchewan. She had been growing cherry trees which bore abundant fruit that dated to 1923. The orchard was being destroyed to make room to build a  Federal jail, so Boward invited Evans to take some of the orchard's trees both for the Alberta Tree Nursery and for his personal use.
The story describes how a horticulturist, Ieuan Evans, discovered an elderly gardener named "Mrs. Bower" who had cherry trees that were over 100 years old. The orchard was being destroyed to make way for a federal prison, so Mrs. Bower gave some of her trees to Evans for the Alberta Tree Nursery and his own use.
