CRESTON VALLEY
GARDEN CLUB
What's Growing On Now?
Garden Club Meeting
Our last blast of gardening is upon us. I'm at the 'store it over winter or buy new in spring' indecision process. With that in mind, at our next meeting on October 30th at 7pm. We should plan for a tender bulbs exchange. Bring your unwanted dahlias, oxalis, gladiolus or whatever exotics you might want to pass on. We also have a guest speaker for the meeting-Amy Kuo, the occupational therapist in town. I've asked her if she could talk about "The Aging Gardener" and gave her free rein to discuss exercises, tool modification or whatever she wants to bring up (stronger drugs for the backache)
Northwest Flower and Garden Show
For anyone who is interesting on attending, The Northwest Flower and Garden Show in Seattle is Feb. 19-23, 2025 and there is an Amtrak train you can get on at Sandpoint that will take you there and back for under $200- in case you haven't already spent your travel budget.
Provincial Garden Club Newsletter
Have a read through of the Provincial GCub Newsletter if you want. Always interesting to see what some of the other clubs are doing.
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.
