Welcome to Mount Arrowsmith Rhododendron Society

Hello, rhododendron enthusiasts!

Whether you’re a long-time rhodo grower or a novice gardener, Mount Arrowsmith Rhododendron Society (MARS) welcomes you to join us. Our regular meetings are free of charge and open to the public! Click here to see our meeting schedule.

MARS is one of the largest and most active chapters of the American Rhododendron Society (ARS). We offer fascinating educational talks at our monthly meetings, along with door prizes of gorgeous young rhodos and the opportunity to relax with coffee, tea, and goodies while you enjoy the company of other enthusiastic gardeners.

MARS also contributes to the community, organizing the popular annual Mother’s Day Garden Tour, the annual Rhododendron Show and Plant Sale, and donating rhododendrons and volunteer labour to Milner Gardens and Woodland.  And don’t forget the special member benefits like Q&A sessions with our rhododendron experts, private garden tours, and discounts at local garden centres and nurseries!  We also work with other garden clubs in the Qualicum Beach, Parksville, Port Alberni, and Nanoose Bay area, to support local events and share each others’ event calendars.

Join us today – we look forward to meeting you soon!
