The Canby Garden Club is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that works to beautify our community, further horticulture education and create better habitat for wildlife.
In 2023 we celebrated 75 years as a garden club.
Milkweed for Monarch Butterfly Garden
Several members of the Canby Garden Club broke out their shovels today to plant a Monarch Butterfly Waystation at the community garden near St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Canby. The pollinator plot featured Showy Milkweed and Zinnias. More native plants will be added soon. Monarch Waystations are places that provide resources necessary for monarchs to produce successive generations and sustain their migration. Without milkweeds throughout their spring and summer breeding areas in North America, monarchs would not be able to produce the successive generations that culminate in the migration each fall. Similarly, without nectar from flowers these fall migratory monarch butterflies would be unable to make their long journey to overwintering grounds in Mexico. The need for host plants for larvae and energy sources for adults applies to all monarch and butterfly populations around the world. Thank you to Donna Bryant, Priscilla Wu, Lynda Rondema, David Kleinke, Michelle Helzer, Katherine Leppek and John Rector. The community garden plot was donated and John said, "The pollinators will help with all of our vegetable plots too." The community garden is part of the church food bank in Canby.

Many thanks to Chuck Pavlich of Terra Nova Nurseries for a wonderful tour of their facilities. About 20 members of the Canby Garden Club learned about the tissue culture and the breeding program at this local wholesale company.
Terra Nova works world-wide to bring the very best perennials and annuals to your home gardens. Chuck explained that the company grows small baby plugs and then sells them to national plant nurseries (Monrovia, Al's, Portland Nursery and others) to grow on. Check out their Facebook page.
And look for Terra Nova flowers this year at your local nursery.
