On Tuesday, May 17th, our spring bus tour organized by Brian Staton saw 37 members and guests travel to Port Alberni and Nanoose to visit gardens of the Mount Arrowsmith Rhododendron Society (MARS) chapter.

Following a luncheon in the garden of Terry and Verna Richmond in Port Alberni, it was off to visit the gardens of Wolfgang and Vivienne Ruff, Mike and Joan Rich and Mark and Patty Nixon of Nanoose

We ended the day with a buffet of finger food, desserts and wine enjoyed at the garden of Al and Maria Bieberstein.

All who attended agreed this was a wonderful tour. Thanks to MARS members Terry Richmond, Linda Derkach and Marilyn Dawson for arranging the gardens to visit and special thanks to all our garden hosts.
