Saturday June 18: CANCELLED: Planting at Silver Springs Crevice & Native Plants garden
We will reschedule this session when there is less rain in the forecast. We will be planting some seedlings of native and alpine plants that were grown in the Botanical Gardens of Silver Springs nursery beds, into the Crevice and Native Plant areas. Lots of things are...
Calgary Rock & Alpine Garden Society (CRAGS) is a group interested in growing alpine plants in Calgary’s challenging climate. Alpine plants are perennials found near or above the tree line in mountainous areas.
Why garden with rock and alpine plants?
- compact size means more variety in a small space
- hardy plants, well-suited to Calgary’s climate
- unique and diverse plants from the mountain regions of the world
- small troughs or large crevice gardens can be showcases
- native plants support pollinators
- use of rocks and alpine plants is inspired by nature
Join CRAGS and learn from interesting speakers about plants, garden design, and travel by plant-lovers, enjoy workshops to advance your gardening skills, be inspired by local garden tours (members only), get friendly advice and support, and make new friends in a small club.
