The Mt. Lehman Garden Club’s next meeting will Thursday September 20th, 2018 at 7 pm at the Mt. Lehman Community Hall. The speaker this month will be David Wilson, of The Heather Farm in Chilliwack, giving a presentation on heathers.

Erica scotica

The names heath and heather are often used interchangeably. Although both are somewhat similar low evergreen shrubs of the Old World, heather has short, scale like, overlapping leaves and a profusion of long-lasting rosy flowers; the true heathers (genus Erica) have needle like leaves and white, rose, or yellow flowers. Species of this large genus are characteristic of vast moor areas in West Europe and, especially, South Africa and the Mediterranean area.

New members and visitors are welcome. For further information, contact Maureen at 604-856-2851

Our dear friend and neighbor, Captain Albert Gibson will be leaving our community at the end of May. He has lived here his entire life. So long, in fact, that the street which runs along his homesite is named after his family.

His father was a founding member and builder of the Jubilee Community Club and he has spent much of his time as mentor, historian, elder and benefactor to Jubilee, the Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans in Canada (ANAVETS) and the Mt. Lehman Community Club.
