The Nanaimo Rhododendron Society’s Annual Truss Show and Plant Sale will take place at the Centennial Building, Beban Park, 2300 Bowen Road, Nanaimo on May 10, 2025, from 10:00 am until 2:00 pm.
The truss show features the wide variety of rhododendron blooms and foliage grown on central Vancouver Island. This year’s sale will have lots of rhododendron cuttings that will be ready for sale and enough exciting vendors (both new and returning) to fill up the hall!
As well as rhododendrons, the plant sale features perennials, alpine and woodland plants, bulbs, and seeds.
Nanaimo Rhododendron Society celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2022. While the primary focus of the friendly and welcoming club is an interest in rhododendrons, many club members have a wealth of general plant knowledge, a background in horticulture or expertise as master gardeners.
Members are active in the local community including work parties at the Hailey Rhododendron Grove at Bowen Park, plant propagation at the VIU Horticulture program greenhouse and association with Milner Gardens & Woodland. Monthly meetings feature interesting speakers while annual events include garden tours and social activities.
The Nanaimo Rhododendron Society meets on a diverse range of garden-related topics on the second Thursday of each month at Beban Centre on Bowen Road. Doors open at 7pm. Everyone is welcome and there is no charge to attend.
