Fwd: Tree Peonies

TREE PEONIES FOR SALE

My friend Chris Donovan has about 40 tree peonies that were meant to go to the VanDusen Plant Sale until it was cancelled. She is selling them for $30 each - an incredible price if you look at what nurseries charge for these. I don't think they'll last long so contact her quickly if you're interested. Google has lots of images.

If you call her, please mention my name or Grandview Garden Club so that she knows where you got the information.

Price: $30.00 each, 1 gallon pots

Available: almost anytime

Where: at Chris Donovan's house - 865 W. 49th Ave, Vancouver. (1 block east of Oak St.)

Phone: 604-264-8746 landline

Please call before you come and let her know which cultivar you're interested in so she can put it away for you.

CURRENT GARDEN CENTRE INFORMATION

Hello Garden Club members.

If you are itching to add to your garden in this lovely spring weather, here's an update of how our most popular local garden centres are operating during the COVID-19 restrictions. Many thanks to Janet Harper for taking the time to check them out for us.

FIGARO'S GARDEN (3rd and Victoria)

The store is closed but if you go to figarosgarden.ca, you can place your order for pick up. They are currently upgrading their website and adding things daily. If there's something you want that isn't on their list, like seeds, which they do actually have, just note it in the comments on your order. It's also possible to 'browse' by looking through the fence.

MAGNET HARDWARE (2nd and Commercial)

Open 9-3 daily, except Sundays. Come with a detailed list of items you would like: seeds, plants, soil or hardware. A very efficient staff member will help you find it. No browsing as the store has narrow aisles.

HUNTER'S NURSERY (Broadway and Larch in Kitsilano)

Search what you want at huntersgardencentre.com Call 604-733-1534 or email your order to broadwaystore@huntersgardencentre.com
Or go through the parking lot to the back gate, let an employee know what you are looking for and it will be brought out to you.
All items delivered through back gate. Credit or debit only, no cash. 

*Staff are cleaning counters, doors carts, PIN pads and other surfaces throughout the day with a disinfectant solution.

GARDENWORKS (Lougheed store)

Temporarily closed. Will re-open in a week's time with modifications for everyone's safety. Check www.gardenworks.ca/hours-locations/burnaby-lougheed/ for the latest information.
