We were saddened to learn of the passing yesterday of Bill Vigars. Bill was an inspiring volunteer and one of the Garden’s strongest cheerleaders. He was an exceptional friend and will be missed.

If you were visiting the Garden yesterday and your little one went home without their boots, we can help. These are safe and sound in our office waiting to be picked up. We’re closed until Friday, but send us a message and we can can get child and footwear reunited!

Yesterday was fun! Thanks to Kelly and Dale of RR #7 Farmstead for coming back up to the Garden to lead a second workshop creating a mushroom habitat! Attendees went home with alder logs inoculated with spawn to grow delicious Elm oyster mushrooms.

Afterwards, we all went for a walk to the south end of the Garden to check on the status of the demonstration logs our team inoculated earlier this year.

Come view these for yourself on your next visit to the Garden and in the meantime, check out www.rr7farmstead.ca for more classes and resources.

Darragh, who visited the Garden with his mum today, spotted this spectacular Acer ginnala (Amur Maple) leaf in various stages of decomposition. Finders-keepers, he gets to take this colourful treasure home for his woodland collection along with several found acorns! 🍁

We are halfway through September and the Garden is lush and full! Come see what’s in bloom or join us for today’s pruning workshop with arborist, Cheryl Topping at 2pm. Admission by donation at the door (suggested $10-$15)

We are still coming down from the high of Fiesta Botanica! What a party! Thank you to all who came to celebrate the Garden's 15th anniversary with us. To our sponsors, community partners, and volunteers, we are so grateful for your help to make this event happen.

We peeped in to see Patrick of @soundwerks.ca doing sound check ahead of Amber & Mackenzie’s wedding here at the Garden yesterday. What a beautiful ceremony it was - many congratulations to the newlyweds (we’re so glad the sun turned up for you 😅)!

A momentary pause on our stroll through the Rainforest Grove this morning - seems the Warbling Vireo, Song Sparrow, Swainson’s Thrush, and Pacific Wren have tagged along. 🔊🎶 #sunshinecoastbc

It's Potato-planting time! Veggie Garden volunteers, Kelly, Paula, Bruce, and Ursula took advantage of the warm sunny weather last week to plant certified organic potatoes from Pemberton Seed Potatoes. Big thanks to Jean Hamilton for this generous donation to our Veggie Garden!

We found Nola, one of our gardeners on staff, working away in our Pollinator Garden. Here she shares with us her favourite flower in bloom right now: Ribes sanguineum (Red Flowering Currant). Come see this deciduous shrub for yourself at the Garden and learn here why Nola’s such a big fan!

Hello March. In like a lion, out like a lamb? Let’s hope.

Lots of fallen tree branches sporting white tresses here at the Garden this morning! ‘Hair Ice’—or “Santa’s beard!” as some visiting kids called it—is made up of ultra fine strands of ice that sprout from decaying wood of broadleaf trees. There needs to be the presence of fungus, a lot of humidity in the air and below freezing temperatures for this phenomenon to occur!

What a festive night with the Suncoast Phoenix Choir! This song’s still stuck in our heads! It was a full house last night and we were treated to the vocal talents of these fine folks led by the wonderful Sara Douglas. Audience participation was fantastic and Sara would love to see you all turn up for choir practice in the new year. 🎶 Holly-jolly oh! Holly-jolly-olly-oh! Holly-jolly…

Have you encountered the Salix scouleriana 'Scouler's Willow' in the wild? You can see one for yourself here at the Garden. This willow is a ‘restorer’ of wildlife habitat, establishing itself where land has been damaged by clearcutting, fire, avalanche, and soil erosion. Its heroics include creating ground stability with an extensive root system and ample shade coverage that allows for forest cover regeneration. Learn more about Scouler's Willow, and why we have chosen to grow this plant along with other native plant species in our Plant Propagation program. https://coastbotanicalgarden.org/2023/12/17/a-case-for-scoulers-willow/
