Earthwise Agassiz Garden Club Speaker Series
Spring is nearly here, and we can’t wait to get back out into the garden! We are excited to announce the kickoff of the Earthwise Garden Club Speaker Series, a new initiative from the soon-to-be-launched Earthwise Garden Club. This series offers an opportunity to meet fellow gardening enthusiasts, share knowledge, and learn from experts on a range of gardening topics.
Speaker events will be held every couple of months, starting this spring, in our heritage farmhouse. Whether you are a seasoned gardener or just starting out, these events are designed to inspire and inform anyone with a love for plants and nature.
Attending a speaker event is also a great way to connect with others, build a gardening community, and learn more about the Earthwise Garden Club! To register, email info@earthwisesociety.bc.ca
Entry is free, but if you enjoy the series, please consider making a donation to Earthwise Society!
