Members of the Victoria Horticultural Society are hoping to raise the roof about their upcoming plant sale.
The sale is a fundraiser for the rooftop garden project planned for the new Garth Homer Centre in Saanich. The goal for the 100-year-old society’s centenary project is to raise $25,000 for this legacy garden.
As such, the members have gone all out to prepare for what is being billed as the first big plant sale in many years – even prior to the COVID pandemic. A variety of annuals, perennials, fruit and vegetable plants and house plants, all cultivated and nurtured by society members, will be available for purchase.
The sale happens from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 14 at the Garth Homer Centre, 813 Darwin Ave. Free parking is available next door at the Saanich municipal hall at the foot of Darwin Avenue.
