One of many improvements at our expanded hall is the opportunity for increased planting.
TICA approached Emily McIvor, Thetis Island resident and garden designer, to come up with a drought tolerant, deer-resistant plan. Emily's proposal reflects her broad knowledge of plants and gardens and was well received by gardening enthusiasts involved with TICA.
The garden will enhance the ambiance of our community centre and serve to demonstrate a variety of plants that can be used in gardens on Thetis. A small Garden Committee has been formed to oversee the landscaping and maintenance of the grounds. There are many keen gardeners on Thetis and it is hoped that you will be interested in supporting the garden at the hall in various ways. A "Friends of the Garden" group could assist with planting, weeding, watering, deadheading, trimming, etc.
Please contact Don Sinclair at sinry@telus.net or 250-246-4291 if you are interested in participating.
