Deborah Jones
Revisiting Rain Gardens
Deborah Jones has a BA in Urban Studies, a Masters of Library Science, and worked for Vancouver Public Library for over 30 years.
12 years ago Deborah introduced Rain gardens to our club. As a volunteer with the Cougar Creek Streamkeepers since 2004 her and her husband have been working on restoration projects.
“Rain gardens” are sprouting up everywhere. But surely every garden in our area is a rain garden, given the amount of rainfall we get? Not quite! Learn exactly what rain gardens are, the many benefits they provide and why they’re essential for climate resilience. Take a photo tour of some of North Delta’s 30 school and community rain gardens, then get ideas for creating your own rain gardens small or large.
This is going to be a meeting you don't want to miss!
We will be serving coffee or goodies at general meetings, so don't forget to bring your own mug
Maple Ridge Garden Club
Whether it's a tiny herb garden on your balcony or a huge garden estate, learn gardening here. The club meets on the third Wednesday nine times a year. A guest speaker is invited to speak and generally gives a forty five minute presentation. Coffee and snacks are served after the presentation, followed by local garden tidbits, general club updates and door prizes.
Education and beautification of our community
