We’ve had quite a mild Winter on Southern Vancouver Island. We started seeing signs of Spring at Welland Community Orchard, starting back in mid-February. It’s now mid-March and more trees and plants are coming out of dormancy, to bud/bloom/blossom. It’s been delightful seeing more signs of Spring!

There’s currently a beautiful daffodils blooming explosion at the community orchard park. Come by for a visit and stroll through the small but plentifully packed, community orchard. It is open 24/7 to the general public.
