What do you do with leftover plants from the sail?.
Hello Barb, The perennial plants are kept for next year. We do have
a couple dozen Tomatoes to give away. I will text you a contact.
We are a couple in our 70’s now living in Saskatoon, with family in Vancouver who have just bought the house and beautiful garden at 2366 Ashley Road. We are looking forward to moving there next year (May 1926). We noticed a 1st Prize ribbon from your Society in one of the sheds. We have limited (also by climate!) gardening experience at our acreage here. With much advice and help, we look forward to planting and tending enough the sophisticated irrigation potting and greenhouse facility to earn an honourable mention,
Hello Erich and Kathleen, I hope you enjoy gardening in Nanaimo when you move here. Hope you will join our garden club when you get settled. And that there are more 1st prize ribbons for your new home. Many in our club made the transition from the prairies so will have lots of advice to share.
Congratulations on all your great work in the community & for local gardeners also! We’ve always loved garden clubs & like gardeners as friends. Unfortunately our health is not great now as we & many other grow old, but that’s ok, we manage to work little miracles in our little gardens now. We always will remember how kind Denise, the club president, was to come to our old but new for us mobile home to give advice. We set up raised beds using concrete blocks & plastic bins on the driveway to grow veggies, with wonderful success; thanks to her adivce. We would love for her to come back here to see 1 year after her visit to see the amazing results (others may get some ideas from it also).
Sincerely, John & Freeman #65-25 Maki Rd. Nanaimo. Please contact us if you want more info. Cheers!
Thanks John, I forwarded your message to Denise. Beryl
