Ready to celebrate the start of the gardening season?
The Montréal Botanical Garden is inviting all gardeners, from young sprouts to mature enthusiasts, to its 14th Great Gardening Weekend, on May 27 to 29, 2011.
This event is organized in co-operation with the Friends of the Montréal Botanical Garden and representatives of the horticultural industry in Quebec,
and offers a wide variety of attractions for green thumbs of all ages.
Our Great Gardening Weekend is also a superb opportunity to stock up on plants of all kinds. Growers from across Québec will be on hand, offering the most recent varieties and some of their rarest plant specimens.
The Montréal Botanical Garden itself will even be selling some new, rare and forgotten plants - a chance to make some terrific discoveries!
