Flash!
The People, Plants and Places management team has recommended that the popular tour be scheduled for alternate years. The two sponsoring organizations, the Bowen Island Historians and the Bowen Island Memorial Garden Society, have agreed, feeling that doing that would be instrumental in maintaining the high quality of the unique island event. Tour fans can look forward to 2012 when the PPP will be a major July highlight. Meanwhile, islanders are encouraged to suggest unusual gardens or homes of architectural interest.

The PPP tour is an intimate peek into Bowen Island's hidden homes and gardens. Held bi-annually over the third weekend in July, the tour welcomes over 1000 visitors to the island. Hosted jointly by the Bowen Island Historians and the Bowen Island Memorial Garden Society, this sell-out event is a delightful way to explore Bowen Island.
