Cultivation of Art - Art Show

Hours: 9:00 – 5:00 - June 21, 22 and 23, 2024

art show imageIn the History of gardening in the 20th century the name most often cited is that of Gertrude Jekyll. Probably, we all know that she was one of the foremost gardeners of her time, but she was a skilled, trained artist, and channelled her love of colour into wonderful works of art. Miss Jekyll was not the first and will not be the last to arrive in the garden to let that garden tell its story onto the canvas. It is from this inspiration that Vale’s Greenhouse proudly presents “Cultivation of Art”.

Vale’s Greenhouse has teamed up with 40 local Alberta Artists. Every artist is looking for a place to display his or her work; Vale’s Greenhouse is always on the hunt for an interesting project.
