The Seed-to-Sky Garden Club meets in our building and expertly maintains the community garden in our parking lot. The Garden Club welcomes Cityview’s plant enthusiasts to join them in their program of ongoing learning.

PRESENTATION:

For planting soon!

Hydrangeas are an integral part of the summer garden with their beautiful flowers that last for months.  This presentation will include identifying just a few of the 80 species in the Hydrangea genus that introduces new cultivars every year.  We will learn which cultivars are pollinator friendly, enjoy what the flower heads look like in the late winter, and of course cover pruning tips. To demonstrate, Jill will be bringing live specimens, one of which she will donate to our draw table.  

PRESENTER:

Jill Wright is a long time member of the Richmond Garden Club and previous Chair of the Master Gardeners Association.  After taking the MG training and the Garden Design Program at UBC, she has applied her artistic flair to the many gardens she has created or remodeled.  She is very proud of coordinating the adoption of Paulik Park by the Richmond Garden Club and receiving a Volunteers are Stars civic award for overseeing the volunteers that maintain the garden.

WHAT TO BRING:

• A mug for tea

• A donation to the draw table or refreshments table

• A pillow to cushion your chair (in case you get a metal one)

There is a $5 drop in fee for those who are not garden club members to help cover the costs of educational programming.
