We have Publications!


Cover of the book created for the CADA Public Art Project

Introduction:

“In the spirit of recognizing the connection between people and plants, the Society embarked upon a special book project, beginning with a call to society members who wished to share a personal, meaningful story about gardens, special memories, or personal connections to plants.”

“Flora is the ‘fruit’ of this project. Please enjoy this limited-edition art book, exploring the themes of community, plants and story. We strive to bring new and experienced gardeners together to have fun. The Flora book project helped us achieve this endeavor and grow our gardening community.”

The book was distributed to Free Little Libraries throughout Calgary. If you can’t find one in your local little library, click on the image to view and read the book online.
