Bulbs, Bulbs, Bulbs, BULBS

Tis' the Season to give and take. At Quilchena it is no different. We picked up a big shipment of bulbs from Van Noort last week and we want to give that to YOU wonderful members. We just ask that in exchange you bring a non perishable item to the office and Melissa or Kim will hand you a dozen bulbs. We have daffodils and tulips to choose from. Don't worry, it's not too late to plant them. If the ground is thawed, dig a hole and plant your bulb right side up and fill it with soil. That is it. It will be a little late at coming up but you'll get some glorious Spring colour in a few months. Please do share in this festive time of the year. The Food Bank can really use your help and we'd love to give back to you!  

It's Christmas Time at Quilchena

All around the clubhouse, decor has been set for Christmas time. The Maintenance and Food and Beverage staff have been busy adding lights, garlands, and trees around the clubhouse, and it looks very festive.

This grey Westcoast weather is only adding to this yearning to stay inside and bring a little warmth and colour to your indoor space. The feeling of Christmas is definitely in the air.

I recently added my own touch to the clubhouse entrance - cedar trees, birch logs, yellow twigged dogwood branches, found pinecones, and other seasonal ornaments. I wanted to give the space a cozy log cabin feel. The beauty of Christmas is often the introduction of outdoor elements into your indoor space.
