Castlegar Peony Show 2018
Self-guided tour of Peony Gardens SUNDAY, June 17th only. 10 to 4pm You are invited to visit these gardens: Castlegar: Doukhobor Discovery Centre-112 Heritage Way, across from the Castlegar Airport. The Peony Gardens in the front courtyard have been gifted by the Castlegar group of the Canadian Peony Society. The first garden, from Indian Head SK Agricultural Farm, donated by Prairie Peony Society, Regina, SK (2015). The second raised bed, peonies from Whitney’s Back Acre, McLure, BC donated by Kalawsky GM (2016). The third collection facing the sun along the brick wall were donated by Dutch Girl Peonies (2017). The Castlegar Communities in Bloom team have planted all these peonies. Kat & Bruce Enns, 602 Tamarack St. A significant collection of approximately 120 peonies. This garden won the Home Builders Best Backyard in Canada prize in 2016. This is your chance to see how they have capitalized on their beautiful location to create a peaceful and botanically interesting haven. Kudos for all that hard work we know went into creating this garden. Beasley: Dutch Girl Peony Farm, 5254 Queen Victoria Road, Beasley, BC. Turn off Highway 3A onto Beasley Road West east of the Beasley Fire Hall. At the top of that short hill, make a sharp right turn onto Queen Victoria Road. Please proceed to the second entrance, the Dutch Girl Peony sign beckons you. An impressive selection of potted peonies for sale and Peony Gardens to tour. Excellent quality, stock and service. Blewett: Michael Wicks, 4260 Kays Rd, Blewett, BC 250-509-0064. We recommended to park at cul-de-sac at the gate, and walk about .5 km. Garden to the left down grassy lane. Disabled only, may be driven further. Lovely collection of peonies, specialty collection of trees, the perfume of lilac and roses - most enjoyable. |
Genelle:
T&G Genelle Bed & Breakfast and Genelle Travel, 327- 15 Ave, Genelle, BC 250-693-2489. Mature peonies along the south border and a new peony bed installed spring 2018 beside the greenhouse and back patio. This delightful location is a popular bed and breakfast, and has been the scene of some beautiful weddings. Warfield: Holly Pender-Love, 231 Currie St. Turn left at Tunnel Pub, two blocks past Korpack. This small peony garden surrounds the house and holds about 40 different peonies, early, mid and late blooming. |
