BOOK SALES

A small sale of used books will be held on Mar. 9, 2025. If you are clearing your shelves, we will be happy to include them at that sale at Toronto Botanical Garden. We do not have space to store books between meetings.

Registration is now open for the 4th Czech International Rock Garden Conference. Several of our members are intending to join this conference. Some have attended before and have only good things to say about it.
