We’re on our 33rd year!

UBC Botanical Garden’s Apple Festival is back celebrating one of BC’s favorite fruits! This family-friendly day out at the garden includes the sale of over 33,000 lbs of apples – all listed by variety and grown right here in British Columbia. At the event, you’ll find a myriad of local food vendors, a Children’s Activity Area, and our always popular Tasting Tent. New this year, Cooking Demonstrations!  Apple Festival is a fantastic opportunity to explore the versatility of this delicious fruit.

Organized by the Friends of the Garden, UBC Botanical Garden Apple Festival is a fundraiser that directly supports education, research, and conservation at the garden

September Garden Club - Sept 10 at 7 pm Britannia Centre 55+ Room

Greetings, gardeners! Our next GGC meeting is Tuesday, September 10th, face-to-face only, at 7:00 p.m. in the 55+ room at Britannia Centre. We have secured this room for 7:00 pm on the second Tuesday of each month for the remainder of the year so mark your calendar/diary! 

 Our September 10th meeting will feature Claude LeDoux, former Horticulture Manager for the Parks Department of the City of New Westminster. You might remember Claude. He last spoke to our club in 2016 on "Twenty Shades of Green.” His topic this time will be “Growing Vegetables and Fruit in Small Space Gardens”, where he will explore options for containers and trellises, and discuss soils and fertilizers. He’s a terrific speaker, witty, fun, and brilliant. 

 This is also the last meeting Christine will chair. Moira Corrigan has agreed to take over Christine’s role as president of the club. Yay and thanks, Moira! Also a huge thanks to Penny Street as I am going to attempt to take over as secretary - big shoes to fill. So grateful to both of you for all you have done for this club! 

 For September 10th:

*  Non-members are welcome to drop in for $4
*  Invite your friends! 
*  Please bring your own tea cup and if you like, something that is looking lovely in your garden this month. 

There will be door prizes! (And by the way, you’re always welcome to bring/donate garden-related things — plants, books, tools — to be awarded as door prizes.) 

See you at Britannia on Tuesday, September 10th! 

 

Cheers, 

Havi
