By Lynda Richard - If you look closely at a daffodil, the very intricacy of the flower – the extension of the trumpet – there are few flowers more incredible looking in all of nature. That beauty was exactly what inspired Fenwick Fatkin to embark on a venture so many years ago that has resulted in Bradner becoming known as “The Daffodil Capital of Canada.” On February 16th, 2018, the Abbotsford News published an article about what Mayor Henry Braun thinks will happen with the recent ALR exclusion application - submitted by the City itself, despite the huge public outcry in opposition. The application was made to the Agriculture Land Commission (ALC) in late 2017, asking the ALC for nearly 700 acres of farmland in Abbotsford to be removed from the ALR for industrial parks - 331 acres in Bradner and 380 acres in South Mt. Lehman by the airport.
The Mt. Lehman Garden Club’s next meeting will be Thursday March 15, 2018 @ 7 pm at the Mt Lehman Community Hall.
While Bradner is bracing for the decision on yet another Agriculture Land Reserve (ALR) exclusion application that keeps growing in acreage - now affecting over 699 acres of designated farmland in Abbotsford - this time submitted by the City of Abbotsford itself - the many reasons that the Agriculture Land Commision (ALC) DENIED the last application in January 2016 will provide a glimmer of hope to the affected communities.
A new year has arrived, as well as a new President of the Mt. Lehman Garden Club, Maureen Homenuke - Maureen and her husband have lived in Mt. Lehman for 39 years! They raised 3 boys and are growing gardens every year. The Mt. Lehman Garden Club’s next meeting will be January 18th, 2018 @ 7 pm at the Mt. Lehman Community Hall.

Buy local pumpkins - proceeds go to Cancer Research. This is the 3RD ANNUAL PUMPKIN SALE! Faith and Rachel feel everyone has been touched by some loved one who has or has had cancer. They grown these pumpkins with their Grandpa each year. Come look for the bright sign and large assortment (about 150) of colourful pumpkins, big and small @ 29534 Marsh McCormick Road (by Jubilee Hall). Decorate your house, make that yummy pie or carve your special jack o’lantern and help a great charity. Last year pumpkin sale proceeds totalled $304 and went to the Make-a-Wish Foundation. The year before that the girls raised $122.20 for Cops for Cancer!
