About the event
On January 9, Brian Minter will take us on a journey through the 67-year history of Country Garden Ltd. in Chilliwack, from its beginnings on August 31, 1957 as a flower shop with a small greenhouse on Second Avenue, to Brian and Faye moving operations to a three acre site on Hope River Road, then on to the evolution of Minter Gardens and the development of the family’s current destination garden centre on Young Street. It’s a fascinating history of one family’s commitment to their local community, as well as the connections and contributions they have made on a national and international level. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear Brian share his memories and reflect on the challenges and achievements over almost seven decades of living and thriving in Chilliwack.
