The Bowen Island Garden Club's May open garden will be hosted by John and Joyce Pearkes at 210 Finesterre Road on Sunday, May 27, from 1 to 3 p.m.

The property is situated at Hood Point and faces north with sweeping views over Howe Sound.

Gambier, Black Tusk and Anvil Island are all part of the breath-taking vista. The garden is fenced with trellises against which roses and clematis find their home.

Plantings of rosemary and lavender give a hint of the Mediterranean, and the lawn in the midst of the garden suggests croquet, cucumber sandwiches and cream teas. An area devoted to vegetables completes this idyllic picture.

Non -members are welcome for a small admission fee and memberships can be bought on-site.
