VanDusen Flower Show 1999
What a fantastic show! We were blessed
with perfect weather on the evening of the Gala - no rain - and warmth to walk around and
view the 200 Flower displays, garden vignettes and exhibits. This show is produced by the
VanDusen Botanical Gardens Association, a non profit volunteer organization and all monies
received support on-going operations, development and educational programmes of the
VanDusen Botanical Gardens Association.
This is Canada's largest outdoor garden show in North America and held on the Great Lawn
in Vancouver's spectacular VanDusen Botanical Garden.
There were Basket and Container Competitions, a huge Marketplace, a Horticultural
Pavillion showcasing clubs, Artists displaying paintings and prints and The Author's
Corner featuring well known garden and cookbook authors. Of course there were also
wonderful places to eat!
This was quite the evening and quite the show...make sure you attend next year! I will
have a tour to Vancouver/Victoria gardens June 2-6th, 2000 - just in time to take in this
event!

The first picture shows the gala
evening itself - perfect weather!

David Tarrant and Joanne Baskerville
were looking their best on this happy evening. I missed getting Des Kennedy and Marjorie
Harris photos, but maybe next year?

The next picture if of my friend Robyn
- who was kind enough to put me up for the night. She is checking out one of the garden
vignettes.

All the rest are of the show itself -
