News from the Denman Island Garden Society
The Denman Island Garden Society would like to extend a sincere thanks to all who contributed to another successful Show What You Grow segment of the Fall Faire – the volunteers who made it possible, those who contributed your garden produce, and those who turned up to admire the wonderful vegetables, fruits, herbs and flowers on display. A special thanks to the businesses (and anonymous individuals) who donated prizes for the competition: DIRCS, Abraxas, Denman Island General Store, Corlan Vineyard and Winery, Denman Island Tea Company, Denman Island Chocolate Factory, and Crooked Warden Cider. You put a lot of smiles on grateful faces.
Now that the gardening season is winding down, the Denman Island Garden Society is gearing up for another interesting run of monthly meetings. Please note that our meeting time has changed and is now from 1 to 3 pm on the third Wednesday of the month at the Gathering Place at the United Church.
Our first meeting will be on Wednesday, September 18th at 1 pm. Devmurti Singh Khalsa and Hari Amrit Khalsa will give a presentation on Growing Figs, Other Fruits and Nuts. New members and drop-ins are welcome. Memberships are $15 for an individual, $20 for a family. Again, the meeting time is from 1 to 3 pm.
