PERENNIAL EXCHANGES:Name and mark your plants as to variety, colour, height and whether they require sun, shade or part shade. It also helps others to know if the plant is a gentle spreader or an all out thug.
We also accept garden related items but if your item is not claimed you are responsible to take it home with you. Don't forget your toonie. $2. |
IRIS POT LUCK PICNIC:Bring something for the pot luck table, a salad or dessert. Food is kept on ice; we are not equipped to keep warm dishes warm (we do not use our hosts’ facilities), so please, cold dishes only, (for safety reasons). Bring your utensils for eating and drinking, and a chair to sit upon.
There will be an iris exchange, so if you have irises ready to divide, please bring one or two, but it is not necessary to bring one to participate. There will be the raffle as usual, so bring some change for your tickets and Lady Luck is a welcome guest. Rain out policy : In the event of a need to postpone because of rain, we will send out an email to that effect by 9:30 a.m. the day of the picnic. If the hosts have agreed, the picnic will be held the next day, same place, same time and the email will state that. If unable to be held the next day, that also will be stated as well as whatever decision has been made. So be sure to check your email and advise your e-buddy if you have one. |
WINTER CONTAINER WORKSHOP:You need to bring an outdoor container filled with soil. I have found that a container with the soil still in it from the summer holds the arrangement well. If you are using fresh soil, tamp it in well so it will hold the stems and fill pot to the top. If using one from the summer, be sure that the soil is not frozen. Also bring any greenery, such as cedar, pine balsam, red twig dogwood (or other coloured stems), seed heads, etc. from your garden/property to add to the purchased items. If you have something special you want to keep for yourself, that’s fine; also, any ornaments or other additions you would like to add to your arrangement. Don’t forget your gloves and secateurs.

WORKSHOPS:We do have various workshops. If you are interested in attending any of them you will be required to sign up for them. Often there are supplies that need to be purchased and therefore a fee is charged. After a certain date, (which will be stated) that fee will not be refunded in the case of a cancellation as we will have bought your supplies.
