Upcoming events - for members only
We will begin our tour at 11:00 a.m. at the home of Elizabeth Elle. Elizabeth is a biology professor at Simon Fraser University and describes her garden as biodiverse and embodying a certain philosophy and style.
We will then proceed to the home of our club secretary, Marilyn Bullock. We will have our own picnic lunch, with refreshments and dessert supplied by the Club. Marilyn has plenty of chairs but you may want to put a folding chair in your car, just in case. After lunch there will be plenty of time to explore Marilyn’s garden.
At 1:30 p.m. we will meet Suzanne Fielden, owner of Rocky Mountain Flatbread on Main Street, and organizer of Earthbites, a society that we donated to last year. Suzanne will show us a hydroponic project that Earthbites has set up on the Tsleil-Waututh Nation on Dollarton Hwy in North Vancouver. The project grows and distributes weekly to First Nation people 500 heads of lettuce and microgreens. We will meet at the Recreation Centre, 3010 Tsleil-Waututh Road, off Dollarton Hwy.
