we need your help! Visit the Small Feet booth for a couple of minutes and tell us how you travelled to the festival. And, make sure to drop by the Engage TheChange™ Zone during the festival to
tell us what you're doing to "Live Green" and how you're particiating in TheChange.

Glendale Gardens and Woodland features ten acres of gardens and is home to The Horticulture
Centre of the Pacific (HCP) at 505 Quayle Road in West Saanich. Located near the heritage city of Victoria on
Vancouver Island. See Getting There for map, directions, bus, vehicle and valet bike parking info.
|
We'd appreciate it if you left your pooch at home. Although Glendale Gardens currently allows dogs and has an “on leash” and “waste pickup” policy, this festival is different than the
Garden’s usual operations. So please do not bring your dog and do not plan to leave your dog in your vehicle at the festival. The parking area is outside, exposed to the sun and has no shade. Your dog will
not be happy or safe in your vehicle.
|

Glendale Gardens are set in the midst of a 100-acre conservation park with nature trails, wetlands and bird watching sites. The Gardens contain over 10,000 varieties of plants, and include a Native Plant Garden, Children′s Garden, Rhododendron and Heather gardens, Dahlia and Lily beds,
Takata Japanese and Zen Gardens, and more.
