Each meeting of the Grandview Garden Club features a special speaker on a topic relevant to Grandview gardeners. Bring your ideas, questions, gardening concerns. We meet about once a month.
Club dues are $20 per calendar year or $4 to drop in.
The club is an offshoot of Britannia Neighbours, the group that looks after the Napier Square Greenway at Britannia and that puts on the East Van Garden Tour every June.

Great idea! I have a question for the foodie gardeners out there. I had a very late crop of pole beans and planted way more than I could keep up with. I ended up with a great deal of mature green bean seed. I will bring some to the next meeting, but I wondered if there is any reason I couldn't treat the seed like horticultural seed and add it to soups? Anybody ever try that? Micah
