We are supportive of the Sunshine Coast Botanical Garden Society and have just started working with the Suzuki Foundation on their Butterfly Way Project.
Community Involvement:
- We are developing a garden in Cowrie Lane, and are involved with the Sechelt Downtown Business Association in helping the business owners and tenants to beautify their storefronts. We are also supportive of the SDBA’ Periwinkle Lane project.
- Some of our members are Butterfly Rangers and have been working on developing butterfly gardens in private and public spaces in Sechelt with the help of club members and other volunteer groups such as the Rotary Club.
- We have been active in bringing renewal to the gardens at the Sechelt Arts Centre, Shorncliffe Extended Care and Totem Lodge. We have worked with the District of Sechelt to beautify the rock wall by the Aquatic Centre. Spring bulbs were donated to the Sechelt Parks department for beautification of community open spaces and many more projects are under way.
- We held our first group event since Covid restrictions started, a lovely and fun Strawberry Tea held on June 12, 2022 at the Botanical Gardens.
-
- In the past we have held a Christmas Luncheon annually with good food, entertainment, door prizes and socializing with friends and new acquaintances. Unfortunately due to Covid-19 activities have been curtailed in the past few years. We are really looking forward to holding more social activities in the future – check out the events pages for details.
- The Sechelt Garden Club not only offers the very best in gardening, but also fun, laughter and camaraderie.
