WHAT A GREAT DAY!

Last Saturday, more than 500 garden lovers spent the day exploring eight beautiful private gardens across Kelowna and West Kelowna, and what an incredible celebration of gardening, learning and community it was.

We were thrilled to welcome guests from near and far, including 100 Mile House, Armstrong, Vernon, Summerland, Osoyoos, Trail, Surrey, Delta, Port Coquitlam, and even Calgary & Edmonton. Seeing so many people travel to experience the Flower Power Garden Tour is something we’re incredibly proud of.

This tour continues to grow each year, bringing passionate gardeners, knowledgeable experts, talented local vendors, and a community eager to learn, share ideas, and celebrate the beauty of gardening.

A heartfelt thank you to our wonderful homeowners for opening their gardens, our incredible experts and vendors for sharing their knowledge, our dedicated volunteers, and everyone who purchased a ticket and supported the Child & Youth Advocacy Centre of Kelowna.
