Join us for an insightful presentation by Pierre from Green Att Farm as he discusses the innovative use of bio-char. Discover how sustainable practice can enhance soil health and contribute to environmental conservation. Don't miss the opportunity to learn from an expert in the field!
Members Showcase and Share on May28th.
Hey everyone! We’d love to see what fertilizers you’re using for your veggies, soft, or flower beds and containers. Just share an empty bag, container, or even the label if you buy in bulk—whatever you’ve got! Also, let us know how and when you use them. I have to admit, my method is pretty laid-back; I usually just throw whatever I find my cupboard onto the plants and hope for the best! I’m there’s a better way, and I’m looking forward to picking up some tips from you all tomorrow!

About Us
In 1998, a small group of keen gardeners met in their homes to share information. As time went by, the group formalized itself to become "The Creston Valley Garden Club" and as of 2018 grew to over 50 members.
Meetings and events are held on the last Wednesday of each month from February to November. Business meetings are kept to a minimum and members enjoy guest speakers, round table discussions, field trips and tours of members' gardens and slide shows. Meetings are usually preceded by an informal plant exchange.
With a minimal membership fee of $20/person and $25/family, supplemented with funds from plant sales and garden tours, the club has sponsored scholarships and donated to the community garden, College of the Rockies, Japanese Garden, Swan Valley and the Museum.
