Thursday, February 11th, we will welcome the marvellous Claude LeDoux, Horticulture Manager for New Westminster Parks. In his talk, which he calls "Fifty Shades of Green", he will inspire and amuse us with his perspective on the unexpected pleasures of gardening!
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.
