Calgary Tour 2014
A group of 12 carpooled to see the Calgary Public gardens and we even made a detour on the way back to Black Diamond to visit Vale’s Greenhouse. There were a lot on interesting plants, some I was unfamiliar with. So it was a bonus to be with other more experienced gardeners and share their knowledge. We all learned something and many of us came back with new plants for our gardens…

Parkland Peonies in Okotoks Alberta grows around 900 different cultivars of peonies, of a 4.5 acre piece of land. With around 15,000 peony plants in the field members are sure to find something they love. Each season Parkland Peonies have an open garden event around June 20 to July 10, dependent on mother nature of course. I am writing to you as maybe some of your members might be interested in visiting this season. Information will be on line closer to the dates, but you can check out the website to see information from last seasons event. It is a ticketed event, cost is minimal at $10 per person. Fresh cut flowers are also available for purchase at the open garden. Thank you
