Join the RVC Agricultural Society at Camp Chestermere for the upcoming Family Fun Fair on June 3, 2023, and don't miss out on the exciting Plant & Seed Exchange taking place during the event. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting out, this is the perfect opportunity to expand your plant collection.

We welcome all types of indoor and outdoor plants and seeds at the exchange. However, we kindly request that you label each item and ensure they are free from pests and non-invasive species. This helps us maintain a healthy environment for all participants.

In addition to being a great place to discover new plants, the Plant & Seed Exchange at Camp Chestermere provides an excellent opportunity to kickstart your preparations for the Chestermere Country Fair Red Ribbon Competition. If you're planning to enter the Flowers, Vegetables, Herbs, or Fruit sections of the Chestermere Country Fair, this event will give you a head start.

Here are just a few examples of the classes you can participate in:

  1. Sunflowers
  2. Pansies
  3. Petunias
  4. Zinnia
  5. Dahlias
  6. Cosmos
  7. Outdoor Planter
  8. Apples
  9. Raspberries
  10. Beets
  11. Peas

The Red Ribbon Competition, also known as a bench show, is a long-standing tradition in Alberta. It encompasses various categories such as sewing, handicrafts, cooking, artwork, and photography. This competition usually takes place during fairs and community events, often alongside horticultural and seed shows.
