Reader Rock Garden shares this prestigious honor with Confederation Park as being the 1st in Canada and the 23rd country to receive this honorable distinction! So many people had a part in this accomplishment: of course Calgary Parks staff, our dedicated team of volunteers, our gardening affiliates & corporate sponsors. Way to go team !!! There are far too many names to include here, but Daniel Walker and Ben Suehsschlaf [former & current Head Gardeners] definitely need to take a bow!! Mr. Reader would indeed be thrilled with this fantastic legacy. 🥇 💚🥰 More details here.

ALL WELCOME

Spring is here, and it’s time to meet our friendly Board of Directors & new Head Gardener; find out what we’ve been up to; and we would be delighted to answer your questions.

Free Parking & Fun Draw Prizes too!

Looking forward to seeing you there this coming Sunday.

Friends of Reader Rock Garden Society [FoRRGS]

You know what heralds the coming of Spring … Seedy Saturday! Next weekend, March 22, 2025; see you there.

Our schedule for this coming New Year will be posted soon. We have exciting plans to share with you.

Until later, keep smiling everyone … 2025 is a year to make good things happen! As the sun rises, let’s choose light over darkness, hope over fear, love over hate and joy in our days.

Stay well and before you know it … Spring will be here !

The “Season of Mists & Mellow Fruitfulness” has arrived. Time to wrap-up some outdoor activities and Reader’s Garden Cafe is closing for the season; last weekend is Sunday, Sept 29th. But the Garden will remain cloaked in fine colors for a long time to come. Enjoy!

Gosh! The exquisite sweet, citrusy fragrance along the Switch Back road at Reader’s will blow your socks off!! The Mock Orange shrubs, aka Philadelphus coronarius, are in bloom and create a feast for the senses, truly heavenly !!
