What we do

Learn, grow, and have fun

  • Work parties

    Planting the petunias along Pleasant Valley Boulevard, and getting the plant sale ready each May.

  • Parlour shows

    Members bring in what is blooming and share it with the room. Friendly, and a little competitive.

  • Speakers and workshops

    A guest at most meetings, on everything from xeriscaping to pruning to growing food in the valley.

  • Tours

    Visits to garden centres and to each other's gardens through the growing season.

Save the date
