History of the Event

The Cowichan Valley Garden Club’s first Spring Flower Show took place in 1960, and annual spring flower shows and plant sales have been held in different forms and at many different locations in Duncan ever since. For 2015, it was decided to hold two separate events, The Plant Sale on April 11th., and the Flower Show on May 30th.
The Show and Sale has been the Club’s major annual public event, anticipated and attended by gardeners and plant lovers throughout the Cowichan Valley and beyond.

The Flower Show provides an opportunity to display and view examples of the many beautiful flowers and plants grown in the Valley, as well as floral designs and garden photographs. This is an open show, and all entries are welcome. There is no entry fee.
The Schedule for the Spring Show provides all of the details needed to prepare and stage exhibits for entry. Members of the Vancouver Island Horticultural Judging Group judge the entries.
