The Bowen Island Garden Club’s Annual Plant Sale and Raffle will take place on Saturday, May 9.
The Plant Sale and Raffle is the Club’s annual fundraiser. Islanders are reminded that the funds raised support a number of beautification projects which are of benefit to the whole community. For example the Club has renewed its commitment to fund the regular maintenance of the Library garden in 2015.
The Plant Sale and Raffle will open at BIC’s at 11 a.m., and lasts for one hour only. Be sure to allow yourself plenty of time to get a place in the front of the queue. The better items sell out very quickly!
The Club’s 300 members have been busy collecting a wide variety of plants and shrubs over the last six months to ensure that there will be generous choices available for your gardens. Prices, as always, will be competitive.
Given the ravages of our resident deer population expect to find a large collection of ‘deer resistant’ plants for the unfenced portions of your property.
Through the generosity of our many donors, both on and off Island, the raffle will offer over a dozen different baskets of prizes. Tickets will be on sale at the General Store May 2nd and 3rd and Friday May 8th; at the Legion dinner on the 8th: at the Library; and at BICs on the 9th. The raffle draw will take place just before the conclusion of the sale. Be sure to get your tickets now!
