Preparation fo the plant sale begins months before. Plant sale work and crafting for the Christmas party are some the best ways to get more involved and get to know other members.

In addition, we participate in several city-wide events including the Royal City Farmers' Market which runs from June to October, and the Queensborough Urban Farmers' Fall Fair in September.

Outings

We try to offer variety of outings and these will vary from year to year. These include tours of nurseries and commercial gardens, perhaps even an out of town trip, . We aim to give at least one month's notice before an outing, but sometimes a "not to be missed" opportunity falls into our lap at the last moment. Usually there are sign up sheets at our monthly meetings so the organizers can contact you with additional details. Fees are only charged to cover any costs.

Generally speaking, members are invited to bring guests along on the club outings. If any restrictions apply, members will be notified.

In the past, we have visited Southlands Nursery, Minter Gardens, the Delta Recycling Earthwise Garden, Valleybrook Gardens and Devan Greenhouses. We also attend the BC Council of Garden Clubs two annual meetings, and have arranged for group ticket discounts to the BC Home and Garden Show.
