OPEN GARDEN & AGM

Saturday, May 30, 2026
2:00 PM 4:00 PM
331 Josephine Drive Bowen Island

Andrew Plews is our host this year, thank you so much!

Join us in the woodland garden of Andrew Plewes for our Annual General Meeting. The house and gardens of this extensive property are located in a thickly wooded lot above Josephine Lake. You cannot miss the house, which is decked out in pastel colours of lime green and yellow, capped by a red roof. Josephine Lake Road is about as remote as you can be on this beguiling island of ours. Andrew Plewes, our host for the day, has been hard at work creating a wide network of trails through the understorey of the forest. They encompass a fine bridge and a viewing platform with easy chairs, from which to contemplate the waters of Josephine Lake. Garden beds seek shelter around the skirts of the house.
