A fun time was in full swing at the Society's Annual Spring Plant Share! held on Saturday May 24. Over 100 members attended this very wet plant share. The board of directors sponsored a fun pancake breakfast to help celebrate the Society's 100th anniversary. Thanks to everyone for your support!
Photos tell a great story - enjoy!
An opportunity to take plants from your garden and share those that need a new home.
Date: Saturday, May 24, 2008 - RAIN OR SHINE!
Time: 9 a.m. 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. In addition to plant sharing, enjoy the on-site vendors, socialize over coffee and cookies, and share gardening knowledge with other enthusiastic gardeners.
See "How it Works" (below) for complete information.
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. AND, review the City of Calgary's Restricted Weed list. Any plants brought that appear on this list will be turned away.
