The garden show is one of the club’s biggest events of the year. Garden- ers from SIGC and beyond can enter plants in 10 different classes in hopes of bringing home a ribbon and some cash and prizes donated by local sponsors. Club president Tanya Daher said the show is important to garden- ers and it gives them a chance to be competitive. “Gardeners have always liked show- ing how nice their stuff is,” she said. There were 17 people who entered the show this year. Daher said three or four of them entered in 75 per cent Robert Daher, left, and sister Sarah of the show’s over 140 categories.
