If you have clumps of plants to donate, please let Jacqui know soon. If you have 1 gallon pots to donate, please bring them to the service area. Square ones are preferred and please no flimsies.
The Vancouver Island Rock and Alpine Garden Society is having their Spring Show on Sunday, April 19, 9am-4pm at the Mary Winspear Centre in Sidney. Admission is by donation. You are also invited to the Kildonan Garden Open House on Saturday, May 2 from 1-4pm. This historic house and garden are located at 931 Foul Bay Road.
The garden has many blooms right now. Maybe you will come and visit this Easter weekend and take in the beautiful spring blossoms with the promise of more to come.
