The Graduation Committee of Chatelech Secondary tried their hand at flower arranging and worked hard putting all the finishing touches together for last night’s prom here at the Garden. As always, a beautiful job done by all. Congratulations Grads of 2026!

Last weekend, 15 writers, aspiring and accomplished, gathered at the Garden to learn how nature can help us to unlock our imagination and inspire written works. ✍ Cathalynn-Labonte-Smith, President and Founder of the Sunshine Coast Writers and Editors Society facilitated the morning session and provided thoughtful prompts to encourage participants to observe nature and try their hand at writing fiction, poetry, and personal reflections. The group split up and headed out into the Garden to wander, be still, and take notice of what parallels could be drawn between plants and ourselves. 🌿The Lupine meadow, Cascadia wildflowers, the Shore Pine, the Oregon Grape, and our back terrace garden all offered inspiration. 🌳

On June 28, we welcome back SCWES members and invite the community to the Garden to celebrate the book launch of 'Temptations and Travels,' by local writer and author, Jan DeGrass.

Our Veggie Garden volunteers are always looking for new ways to optimize garden space to increase the yield of food they can grow. One intensive gardening method they have implemented is interplanting, or intercropping, where two or more different crops are planted in the same space and grown simultaneously. In these photos, we see that they have planted radishes between onions and lettuce at the base of peas.
Try planting a tall, sun-loving plant with a shade-loving one, or pair a plant that puts down deep roots, such as carrots, with one that stays shallow, like lettuce. And, we can always have more flowers! Plant flowers among your vegetables to attract pollinators.

High-fives all around to the folks in purple (and green!) who turned up for TELUS Day of Giving to help us clean up the Veggie Garden! These hardworking hands helped to w**d around the blueberry shrubs, reinforce the herb beds (and pull w**ds too), plus they helped to dig a trench and more! All this help keeps the garden growing and providing for the community and we are so grateful. 🙌

You don’t even need to step into the Garden to see flowers! The perimeter of our parking lot is bursting with cheerful Wild Strawberry (Fragaria virginiana), a drought-tolerant native perennial. This herbaceous groundcover serves as a larval host plant and provides spring blooms and summer fruit, making it a pollinator powerhouse.

Yesterday we reluctantly said farewell to Payton, a cherished member of our gardening team, who is leaving the Coast to be closer to her family. Thank you, Payton, for all of your hard work, your spirit, and passion for plants and gardening. We will miss you and your smile and wish you only the best on your path ahead. 💚

We have a lot to thank the Bee for. If not for these hardworking, unsung heroes, this world wouldn’t get very far and there’d certainly be far fewer plants and flowers to enjoy. On this World Bee Day, follow to get acquainted with the many bees of B.C. (over 600 species!) and find out how you can support conservation efforts to protect our native pollinators. 🐝
