CAIRNSMORE PLACE ANNUAL PLANT SALE

Saturday Apr 21, 2018

Cairnsmore Place Volunteer Gardeners celebrate their 10th year at the annual plant sale to be held from 9-noon on Saturday, April 21.

There will be hundreds of plants ready for planting. And this year there is a special focus on hostas, more than 100 will be for sale. You will also find a fun selection of wood crafted garden ornaments fabricated by our volunteers. And master gardeners will be on hand to answer your questions.

All proceeds are used for the maintenance of the gardens - fertilizer, watering system, soil, mulch, plants, and new projects. We are a band of 18 volunteers who work every Wednesday morning from February to November. The gardens are enjoyed by residents, families and staff year round. This work can only be done with the generous support of the Cowichan Valley's gardening community. The Mill Bay Garden Club was instrumental in giving us a great start before we started our plant sales. Generous individual donations have also funded some major projects.

Here are a few pictures from 10 years ago and today. Incredible how everything grew beautifully in that time.
