Snoqualmie Valley Garden Club

As a 501c3, SVGC’s mission is to inform, educate, and inspire our members and the community in the art, science, and joy of gardening, while fostering a commitment to environmental stewardship.

SPRING IS HERE

April is here, and with it comes that wonderful shift from dreaming about our gardens to diving into the busy season ahead. Buds are swelling, tools are coming out of storage, and everything feels ready to burst into motion. This month brings a special change to our routine — instead of our usual meeting at Encompass, we’ll gather at The Sallal Grange for our Spring Fundraiser. It’s the perfect way to kick off a season full of connection and creativity. And with our Garden Tour and Tea Party just around the corner, there’s so much to look forward to as we grow, celebrate, and dig in together.

A special thank you to Christina Salwitz, who inspired us with examples of her visually impactful container designs, and provided us with some amazing plant combinations for our own gardens.

A special event for garden club members …

… Our spring garden tour of two member gardens is right around the corner! We’ll be starting off with a tour of two member gardens, and ending at Encompass with a tour of the sensory garden and a fun garden tea party.
