The Williams Lake Garden Club is waking up from its winter slumber and is looking forward to a great new gardening season.
Its first meeting of 2016 will be held at the Central Cariboo Arts and Cultural Centre (the old fire hall) on Thursday, March 3, at 7 pm.
Further meetings are scheduled for first Thursday of every month until October.
The purpose of the Williams Lake Garden Club is to promote, encourage and support the horticultural interests of local residents. We do this through educational sessions that appeal to both experienced and new gardeners.
Our monthly meetings include keynote speakers, networking, and contests as well as sharing of ideas, expertise and resources.
The Williams Lake Gardening Club collaborates with like-minded groups in the area to enhance our gardening knowledge.
The very timely topic of our first meeting will be, Starting Plants From Seeds.
Topics for the remainder of the season will include Xeriscaping, Plant Nutrition, Potato House and Downtown Vegetable Gardens Tour, and Small Plot Intensive Agriculture.
We continue to work on completing the speakers’ schedule.
The Williams Lake Garden Club invites anyone interested in gardening to join.
New as well as potential gardeners will be warmly welcomed.
A yearly membership to the club costs $10. If you just feel like dropping in to a particular meeting, the cost is $2.
