VIRAGS is a club of plant lovers in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. We meet, 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.
 During non pandemic times 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. We publish a Member Newsletter 10 months of the year.
