Bradner Flower Show returns from April 11 to 13.
The 95th event takes place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily at Bradner Community Hall, 5305 Bradner Rd., just east of Aldergrove.
Admission is $2.50.
This year's theme is Springtime in Paris. The opening ceremony takes place Friday at 2 p.m. with Country 107.1 DJ Stevie De La Rose.
Hundreds of daffodils will be on display, most of them unusual and grown in the Bradner area.
There will also be plants and shrubs for sale at wholesale prices as well as crafts from local artisans. The tearoom will also be open to purchase homemade soups, sandwiches and fresh-baked goodies.
As always, Bradner Community Club will donate all proceeds from cut-flower sales to Abbotsford Regional Hospital.
Fenwick Fatkin started the Bradner Flower Show in 1928, holding it in his living room 鈥� or parlour, as it was then called.
It was modelled after the popular parlour shows that were held in his native England.
When the show was in its beginnings, there were only 10 types of daffodils on display. Today, there are more than 400.
When Fenwick and Charlotte Fatkin moved to the Bradner area from England via Vancouver, he recognized right away that the area鈥檚 climate and soil would be perfect for growing daffodils.
Members of the Fatkin family still farm daffodils in Bradner, and the show is coordinated by Fenwick鈥檚 granddaughter, Pauline.
