Bonanza for Green Thumbs
It’s the time of year when UVic’s McKinnon Gym
transforms from a basketball mecca to a giant gardening centre. Volunteers are
gearing up for the annual UVic Plant Sale. The usual wall-to-wall selection
will be enhanced this year with deer-resistant plants and even more plants
propagated from UVic’s renowned Finnerty Gardens. The sale, organized by the
Friends of Finnerty Gardens, generates funds to support ongoing enhancements of
Finnerty Gardens and its vast collection of rare rhododendrons and countless
other varieties of plants, trees and shrubs.
What: 2013 UVic Plant Sale
When: Sunday, May 5 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Where: McKinnon Gym, UVic
Admission is free and everyone is welcome. Shoppers
are advised to arrive early for best selection and to bring their own packing
boxes for the trip home.
UVic is accessible by sustainable travel options
including transit and cycling.
