Contest cancelled this year

THE NORTH Shore Gardens
Contest Committee announced this
week the temporary suspension of
the Gardens Contest. Plans are
under way to resume the event in
new form in 1991 with emphasis
on civic beautification.

Said committee spokesman Dirk
Oostindie, ‘‘This decision was
made reluctantly and we realize it
will disappoint a lot of people, but
we are taking time out to plan and
re-organize for the new initiative to
be launched in spring 1991.

“The event will take on a new
focus with emphasis on civic
beautification, providing increased
opportunity for neighborhood and

community involvement. In its
revised form it will add a new
dimension to civic beautification
and will benefit the whole com-
munity. We expect 1991 to be a
banner year for the North Shore.”’

The committee will release fur-
ther details before the new pro-
gram is implemented.

The popular North Shore
Gardens Tour of award-winning
gardens will, however, again be
offered. Committee chairman
Diana Belhouse said plans were
nearine completion for this year’s
tour, to be held on Sunday, July
29. Further information will be
made available nearer that date.

from there will be more selection
than ever at the thirteenth annual
VanDusen Plant Sale, Sunday,
April 29. The doors open at 10
a.m. and entrance to the gardens is
free.

The VanDusen Plant Sale has
become well known throughout the
Lower Mainland and Islands, for
its selection of well-known, as well
as difficult to find plants. Volun-
teers work throughout the year to
bring to the gardening public an
incredible variety of plant stock,
impossible to find in one spot

couver area.

There will be a Pot Luck corner

longer commercially available
plant stock donated by the friends
of VanDusen as well as the
Gardens itself.

All proceeds go to the Canadian

Canada, now nearing completion
of construction of Phase II at
VanDusen Gardens on Oak Street
at 37th Ave., Vancouver.

Hours for the sale are 10 a.m. to
