The Clarkia amoena, or ‘Farewell-to-Spring’ as it is aptly named, is a burst of colour against the rock in our Garry Oak Meadow on this warm mid-summer afternoon. Native to western North America, the Clarkia amoena has two varieties that occur in dry coastal hills of BC’s lowland zone. This self-sowing wildflower blooms over a long period from June into August, attracting and providing nectar for native bees and pollinators all summer long.

Only two more days left to see Kate von Riesen's imaginative steel and glass sculptures currently on exhibit here at the Garden!

Five of Kate's works are on display throughout the Garden. Much of her work is influenced by our natural surroundings, but she also takes inspiration from the bonds she shares with her friends and family; come see 'Soda Stream', a fun tribute to her husband!

Read the story linked in the comments below to meet Kate and learn more about who and what inspires her to create.

Some of our Board and staff spent an inspiring afternoon with Dr. Sonya Jakubec (R.N., PhD). Sonya studies the health and environment connection, with a focus on parks and nature-based interventions for health and wellbeing across the lifespan, in disability, dementia, dying, death and grief care. We had some great discussions on how the Garden can be a welcoming and accessible space for both those experiencing life transitions and their caregivers to connect with nature.

Have you registered for the 'Kiss-Fist' ASL workshop with Amar Mangat yet?
If you've ever been curious to try your hand at learning American Sign Language, this will be an easy, informal way to get started.

🌈Amar Mangat (He/Him), a q***r, Deaf ASL instructor from Vancouver, will teach us ASL signs for q***r identity, plants and fruits, plus some phrases that will come in handy later that evening at the Fruit Bowl Pride Dance!

🤟 This is a free event for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community however, for allies who wish to join, we will accept donations to support the Sunshine Coast Pride Society (suggested donation amount $20 - please bring cash only at the door).

Space is limited and registration is required. See link in comments to sign up!
