CRAGS 2020 PLANT SALE WILL BE HELD VIA EMAIL, STARTING ON JUNE 17, 2020. If you live in the Calgary area, this is your chance to buy Calgary-grown rock and alpine garden plants without visiting a garden centre. Our member growers have a wide assortment of over 150 small alpine plants and larger perennials for sale. Sales are open to the public on June 17, with an order deadline of June 20 at 8pm.... The plant list can be viewed at https://tinyurl.com/y9p6smfn and you send a list of your desired plant IDs, names, and quantities, plus your contact information, to [email protected]. If you would prefer to use a spreadsheet, please send an email to [email protected] and we'll send a copy to you, or visit our website at https:/www.crags.ca/plant-sale We will process the orders on a first-come, first-served. Sorry, we can’t handle substitutions. Pickup in NW Calgary at an outdoor location will be June 27-28, and we will schedule pickups to maximize physical distancing. A few days after ordering you will receive an email with your cost and pickup time. Payment is by e-transfer or cheque only. The Calgary Rock & Alpine Garden Society has held a plant sale for 28 years. This is the first time we've had a "email-order" version, so please bear with us.

This is a Columbine "Aquilegia vulgaris" that was tiny when we planted it last year - it's blooming and loving it this year, what a beautiful plant!

Some good info about creeping bell flowers.
