Events are back with more ways to share ‘What’s Happening at the Garden!’

Events are back with more ways to share 'What's Happening at the Garden!'

The lush green and dynamic colors at the International Peace Garden are vibrant after all the moisture and sunshine southern Manitoba has had over the past few weeks!

CEO, Tim Chapman, says their flowers beds are shaping up beautifully, this year’s theme focused on music and the Arts to officially welcome the International Music Camp back to the Peace Garden after a two-year hiatus.

To share more of the rich history of the Garden, celebrating 90 years this summer, they have started a new Blog page on their website. 

“It was really a good year to get that going because we just want to share more about the history and what the Garden is all about through our regular updates to our website,” shares Chapman.  “It’s just a fun way to remind people that there’s so much rich history, especially locally.”

“We’ve been spending hours over the past few months going through all the old archives, and what you find is almost everyone around here has a cousin or a grandfather, someone who worked at the Garden going back to the early 30’s when it was first dedicated.”

“So, we can share a lot of fun, little anecdotes,” he adds. “Maybe some people didn’t know how the different parts of the Garden came about.  It’s just a fun way getting the word out more and we have great input both on social media and on our website so we want to make sure our followers and our visitors have something to read every now and then.”

Their most recent event was the annual Fiddle Festival held last weekend  “It was incredible,” shares Chapman.  “People were coming back; a lot of musicians and a lot of folks from the different communities to come and listen to music for the first time in 2 years was really a touching moment!  It felt like we were getting back to normal again.”

For  more information visit their website at www.peacegarden.com where you can visit their Blog page, check out what’s coming up, and sign up for their newsletter which comes out more frequently during the summer months. 

“As the conservatory project finishes up this Fall we’ll be having a lot more going on through the whole 12 months of the year so that’s the way to keep up to date with what’s new at the Garden and what’s coming back!” adds Chapman.

Sculpture garden, outdoor events, allotments and markets planned for Edinburgh’s new waterfront attraction

Outdoor cinema screenings, markets, large-scale works of art and new sports facilities have been proposed for a project envisaged as a cultural cornerstone of a new “coastal town” in the north of the city.

Spearheaded by the National Galleries of Scotland, it would see the creation of a building, around the size of two playing fields, where Scotland’s most important art treasures would be safeguarded.

The project, which will include modern studios for conservation and research, is expected to help the National Galleries expand its collection over the next two decades and ensure it is made more accessible than ever before.

Both The Art Works and its art-themed grounds will be open to the public, with the development – which is billed as “a world-class hub for looking after Scotland’s national art collection” – hoped to create a new focal point for Granton.Walking and cycling routes will be created through the site as part of efforts to help ensure that the development – links north and south Granton.The project, described as “the opportunity of a lifetime” by the National Galleries, would see the complex built on a brownfield site bordered by the remains of a historic car factory dating back to 1898, retail units run by Lidl and B&M, and existing archives for Scotland’s national art and museum collections.

The new building will overlook the Firth of Forth on Waterfront Avenue, where an “entrance plaza” is envisaged, while architects McAslan & Parners have earmarked a site for a “landform”, similar to the garden which links the two modern art gallery buildings in Edinburgh.

An official consultation brochure on the project states: “The Art Works will be much more than a world-class building to care for Scotland’s national art collection.

“We’re creating a place both inside and out with the needs of the local community at its heart.

“Inside there will be social spaces and amenities for visitors’ comfort and enjoyment while, outside there will be opportunities for activity areas and bringing the environment to life.

“The landscape proposals aim to improve access through the creation of new pedestrian and cycle-routes, to provide space for active open space uses, and to improve biodiversity through new tree planting and the creation of wildflower meadows.

“A spatial framework of routes, landforms, and trees will accommodate a wide range of diverse and evolving usesfrom urban gardening and outdoor learning to events and large-scale sculptures.

“The Art Works will be a cultural focal point for the local community, offering new spaces for all to share and enjoy and will contribute to regeneration of the local area by expanding social amenities, encouraging employment, enhancing cultural activity, and providing an economic stimulus.”

The Art Works attraction will create new routes linking north and south Granton.

Sir John Leighton, director-general of the National Galleries, said: “This is an incredibly exciting moment for both the National Galleries of Scotland and the communities of North Edinburgh.

“The Art Works has the potential to be truly transformative, not only in how Scotland’s national collection of art is cared for and shared more widely, but also by providing much-needed new facilities to unleash the creative confidence and spirit of the local area.”

Bounty of native plants for sale as Garden Aurora event returns

Bounty of native plants for sale as Garden Aurora event returns

The Garden Aurora Plant Sale take places Sunday, May 29, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Aurora Home Hardware after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic

If you’re looking to add native flowers and greenery to your garden this year, look no further than Garden Aurora’s annual plant sale. 

The popular fundraiser for the Aurora Garden & Horticultural Society, which regularly draws line-ups of gardeners well before they open their doors, is set to return this weekend after a two-year hiatus due to the global pandemic.

Garden Aurora will take over the parking lot at Aurora Home Hardware on Sunday, May 29, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., with member gardeners offering plants taken from their own thriving gardens. 

“This is very exciting because we haven’t had fundraisers for two years,” says Garden Aurora’s Cindy Scuithes. “Gardening took off like a bullet during the pandemic. More people are interested in planting and growing their own food and it is a really good activity for parents to do with their children where children can learn how things grow.”

It’s still a “mystery” what varieties of plants Garden Aurora members will produce from their gardens ahead of the sale, but Scuithes says participating growers have been asked to emphasize native plants, herbs and vegetables, and, of course, non-invasive species.

“Native plants are going to survive our winters,” says Garden Aurora’s Donna Lewis. “They’re going to survive droughts; they’re going to survive extreme weather events a little bit better than the exotics. Having said that, the exotics or the non-native plants that we have available for sale will be grown in Aurora and should be suitable for most people’s yards. Our price point will also be a little bit easier on people’s pocket books.”

“With native plants,” Scuithes adds, “you don’t have to replace them every year. Some of the exotic plants won’t survive over the winter, some only have a shorter lifespan of three to five years, and then they should be replaced.”

Native plants in home gardens, ornamental or otherwise, are also a boon for local biodiversity, they say, offering native bees a better chance of doing the pollination that is so desperately needed.

“The whole thing is about biodiversity; the higher the biodiversity the healthier the environment,” says Lewis. “The healthier the environment, the healthier the people. Across all spectrums, if we plant more native trees, we’re going to have more native birds nesting in our yards. Birds won’t nest normally in a Norway maple because they get no benefit from it as there are not that many insects eating it – except maybe the spongy moth!”

As more and more people turn to gardening at home, Home Hardware is as eager as ever to partner with Garden Aurora in making the plant sale possible.

Sarah Fleming, paint department manager for Aurora Home Hardware, says she too was bitten by the gardening bug at the start of the pandemic and it was an easy choice for the business to step up and help support the Garden & Horticultural Society.

“Because of the pandemic, I enjoy gardening more, too,” Fleming says. “I spend more time in my garden now than I ever did just because it brought my stress level down and gave me more of an appreciation, too, for all the different types of plants I wasn’t even aware were out there. I think it is good [Garden Aurora educates] people who are coming to the plant sale as well. Customers won’t only go away with a beautiful plant, but they will go away with knowledge, as well!”

The Garden Aurora Plant Sale will take place Sunday, May 29, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Aurora Home Hardware (289 Wellington St. East). Sales are cash only and change is appreciated.

In addition to bringing the plant sale back to patrons after more than two long years, Garden Aurora is also hard at work planning for their next big event: a return to their annual Garden Tour, featuring an array of beautiful, creative, and unique local gardens. 

The tour is set for June 26.

“This will be the first time in two and a half years for our garden tour, which will showcase a bunch of different gardens and give people a bunch of different ideas of what’s possible,” says Ms. Lewis. “These aren’t commercially-made gardens, they’re all owner-maintained so it shows what you can really pull out of your hat! Plus, Garden Aurora members will be able to explain what plants are there, the owners will be there to explain some of the pitfalls they had. Gardening is always an adventure; sometimes there is serendipity that gets involved. You might not think something will work and it turns out to be the best thing ever!”

Garden Club welcomes back in-person meetings

The South Delta Garden Club (SDGC) is pleased to announce that Canadian horticulturalist Janis Matson will be the featured speaker on Tuesday, May 17 as the club resumes its in-person meetings.

As a 30-year industry veteran, Matson is known for her depth of knowledge about plants and garden design and has led her company, Shoreline Landscape Design Ltd, for the past 25 years.

In addition, Matson teaches in the Adult Education program at VanDusen Botanical Garden and is a popular guest speaker at various garden clubs throughout the Lower Mainland.  

“People need to understand their space, do a site analysis that includes soil type, depth and structure, drainage, any supplemented water,” she said. “Do they want turf? Is the garden on a slope? Are there mature trees? What is the light exposure? Is there wind? Root competition? Drought tolerance? What is the purpose of the garden? Do they want entertainment space? A soccer field for the kids?”

On Tuesday, Matson will present on the topic of: Out of the Ordinary Annuals and Perennials. She hints that her favourite summer perennial is the unusual Himalayan Blue Poppy.

The meeting will be held at Ladner Christian Reformed Church at 4594 54A St., in Delta. Doors open at 7 p.m. with the presentation at 7:30 p.m. Entrance and parking are around the back.

Featured speaker events are open to both members and the public.
