Swan Lake Nature Sanctuary is having a Native Plant Sale: April 18th and 19th: http://www.swanlake.bc.ca/plantsale.htm The annual Swan Lake Native Plant Sale "Gardening for Wildlife" is held at the Nature Sanctuary and features over 110 species of native plants. Presentations on gardening with drought tolerant native plants and developing wildlife habitat in an urban area are included with the price of admission. The plants are arranged in three zones, based on sun requirements. At Uvic, May 6th, there will be a plant sale with plants from Finnerty Gardens. Organized by the Finnerty Garden Friends, the UVic Plant Sale—now in its 32nd year—will include almost everything for the spring garden: alpines, annuals, hanging baskets, shrubs, trees, vegetables and a lot more. There will also be a kids' section and a silent auction. http://communications.uvic.ca/releases/release.php?display=release&id=819 And here is a list of classes offered at the Compost Education Centre: http://www.compost.bc.ca/learn/communityeducation.htm
