VIRAGS is a club of plant lovers living near Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, who visit, study, photograph, draw, and grow alpine plants, bog dwellers, and woodlanders, whether native or exotic. We encourage the propagation and distribution of plants. This club has been in continuous operation for 100 years and is the oldest rock and alpine garden club in North America.
                           NOTICE                              
*******Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and until further notice all VIRAGS' monthly meetings will be held on the 2nd Tuesday of the month on ZOOM. For more information regarding the program topic and Z00M instructions please consult your newsletters and the web page.*******
 The normal meetings include a judged parlour show, a talk or workshop, a plant raffle, books to borrow, and time to discuss plants while enjoying refreshments. Visitors are always very welcome.
We visit members' gardens and enjoy excursions  in natural settings. We have an annual spring show and plant sale, and workshops on propagation and rock garden construction.
The society, which is perhaps the oldest alpine gardening club in North America, has remained local. Any distant members are ex-Victorians who want to keep up with their friends' activities. We have a newsletter for local events. 

                                        The Zoom invitation will be sent out on April 12th
