June Bergman on The Botanical Gardens of Silver Springs

February 1, 2022 @ 7:30 am 9:30 pm

February General Meeting with Guest Speaker June Bergman, “The Botanical Gardens of Silver Springs”

This is the first stop on our virtual cross-country tour of botanical gardens

Considered a “hidden gem” in Calgary, Alberta, The Botanical Gardens of Silver Springs (www.bgss.ca) consists of numerous individual gardens connected with walking paths bordered with beautiful flowering shrubs and specialty trees. Hand-painted signs depict arrival to feature gardens with intriguing names such as “Shakespearean Garden,” “The Labyrinth,” and “Alpine Crevice.” Just over ten years old, it is also notable that these beautiful gardens are designed, developed, maintained and managed entirely by a volunteer group!

Master Gardener June Bergman is Chair of the BGSS Volunteer organization. A gardening enthusiast since childhood, June is also an active member of the Calgary Horticultural Society and the Calgary Rock and Alpine Garden Society.
