SPRING 2012 PLANT SHARE
An opportunity to take plants from your garden and share those that need a new home.
Date: Saturday, May 26, 2012 - RAIN OR SHINE!
Time: 9:00am to 12 Noon (Hours may be reduced if weather is poor)
Location: On the grassy field west of the Society office at 208 - 50 Ave. S.W.
The objective of the Plant Share is for Society members to share excess plant material with other members and provide information about plants, their cultures and habits. Plant advisors are on hand to answer questions.
The success of the Plant Share depends on plants and participation. If you've never participated before, plan on attending this year.
You can still join in the fun, even if you don't have plants to share:
Plants can be purchased for $2.00 ea - see full explanation of processes in the "How it Works" link below. Please remember, plants must be in good condition, plants that are not in good condition will not be accepted.
In addition to plant sharing, you can enjoy the on-site vendors, socialize over coffee and cookies, and share gardening knowledge with other enthusiastic gardeners!
REMEMBER - Be sure to carefully label all your plants (common name, mature height, colour)
PRIOR to arriving, this helps speed up the check-in process.
Also, please review
Alberta's Invasive Plant Council's plant list.
Any plants brought that appear on this list will be turned away.
