Pauline Isherwood - The 91st annual Bradner Flower Show is fast approaching! ​Volunteers are needed immediatly to help prepare and to help during the weekend show on April 12, 13 & 14th, 2019​​. The theme this year will be the "Art of Nature"! 

By Lynda Richard - The Bradner Flower Show was started in 1928 by area pioneer Fenwick Fatkin as a venue for local growers to showcase their daffodils, and Bradner has become famous as the “Daffodil Capital of Canada.” A small rural hamlet with a wonderful sense of community; the show is produced by the Bradner Community Club, a longstanding service organization operated on a 100% volunteer basis. Fenwick’s family is involved in the show to this day, with granddaughter Pauline serving as chair of the show. Each year several thousand people arrive to take in the displays and activities at the show. We are planning an event that is interesting, informative and most of all, fun!

Bradner’s 87th Flower Show was deemed a success. Despite some questionable weather, attendance was similar to last year’s show. Even though many varieties of daffodils had already bloomed and gone, the later varieties, were in full bloom, offering a unique show. Many of the varieties had never before been displayed. 

We’d like to take the time to thank all those who came to the show to look and be entertained. There was lots to see and do, from making your own garden sculptures, to live music, great food and of course, gardening experts. This year’s theme, “The Good, The Bad & The Bug-ily” proved to be a big success and we are already working on a theme for next year!

This event could never take place without the help of many, many volunteers, and bouquets of thanks go out to each and every person that gave of their precious time to make the show successful. Although we can’t name every person, we are truly grateful for the help of each and every volunteer. 

Thanks again, and we hope to see you next year!
