CRESTON VALLEY
GARDEN CLUB
What's Growing On For 2025?
Garden Club Meeting
Meetings will start again next Wednesday, Feb. 26 in the library meeting room at 7pm. We will be selling our yearly memberships before and after the meeting.
For $20 a person and $25 a couple, you get a 10% discount at many of our nurseries and at Top Crop in Cranbrook too plus all our wonderful guest speakers.
​There is some homework to bring.
As a new-ish gardener to Creston, I would like to know what varieties of vegetables the locals are growing that are tried and true to this climate so come with your list. I will have poster paper set up for you to write on.
About Us

Guess Speaker
Caroline Collier will be our guest speaker for 2025. Feb 26 topic will be about how to attract more pollinators, what to grow and where to get seeds.
Provincial Garden Club Newsletter
Have a read through the March BC Garden Club Newsletter if you want. Always interesting to see what some of the other clubs are doing.
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.
