Mill Bay Garden Club
The Gardening communities in Mill Bay and Shawnigan Lake and Cobble Hill are thriving and growing! We currently garden together under the Mill Bay Garden Club banner.
The Mill Bay Garden Club invites you to consider membership in our Club. We meet at the Community League Hall [near Kerry Park] on Shawnigan-Mill Bay Road on the fourth Tuesday of each month beginning at 6:45 p.m., September through June [no December meeting] Our meetings are lively and informative. We have ongoing projects: visit to gardens, guest speakers, garden information, "show and tell", plant sales, exchanges, an annual Christmas Dinner, and a June picnic.
We are also proud to produce an Annual Flower and Garden Show for the communities of Mill Bay, Shawnigan Lake and Cobble Hill. We are looking forward to hosting our 62nd Annual Community Flower and Garden Show at the Cobble Hill Hall on June 13, 2009. _______________________________________ The Mill Bay Garden Club is looking forward to their first meeting of the new season on Tuesday, September 23. We will be hosting Al Cox who will speak to us on all things Garlic . As reported, Al is a garlic guru. This is a well-timed event as late September/early October is the perfect time for planting garlic. Check out our fall/spring 2008/2009 season of guest speakers
