2024 Monthly Meeting Dates
New meeting venue. The Club meetings will be held at the Sechelt Seniors Activity Centre. 5604 Trail Avenue in Sechelt.
Monday evening, January 29th at 7 pm is our first meeting of 2024! We hope you’ll join your fellow members and friends in our new venue, the Sechelt Seniors Activity Centre. We’re looking forward to hosting our monthly Garden Club meetings at SSAC this year, with its ample parking and well-lit entranceway.
Following our meeting, we know you’ll enjoy a presentation by local beekeeper Kathleen Suddes. Kathleen, who has an interest in helping all our pollinators on the coast, will share her experiences and inform us what we as gardeners can do to help their habitat (and things we do that may harm them).
Honey produced from our local flowers provides a concentrated source of good health, and Kathleen will give us examples of what blossoms produce a particular flavour. She will also provide a lot of pollinator knowledge relatable to us as local gardeners.
