A Couple of Interesting Events

1. TreeKeepers is offering 16 different types of young fruit and ornamental trees to Vancouver residents for the modest price of $10 -15. You can see what is available and, if you wish, place an advance order for pick-up at a local community centre. Or just go there on the day and take your chances. Highly desirable offerings include Magnolia 'Leonard Messel', Cotinus (smokebush) 'Grace', and 'Honeycrisp' apple trees.

For more information, including pick-up locations and dates, go to http://treekeepers.ca/plant-a-tree/

2. Egan Davis, who will be our April speaker, is not only a knowledgeable gardener, but also a kite-flying enthusiast. In the latter role, he is choreographing a kite dance of dozens of pink kites at Vanier Park on Sunday, April 4 to celebrate Vancouver's Cherry Blossom Festival.
