2026 BCLNA Garden Party and Member Awards

Join us as we celebrate another successful year together at the 2026 BCLNA Garden Party & Member Awards—an evening dedicated to the members who make our industry thrive.

Building on the energy and enthusiasm of last year's inaugural Garden Party, we're excited to return to Locality Brewing for another memorable evening on their beautiful expanded patios. Enjoy delicious food, a complimentary beverage, live music, lawn games, and great company as you reconnect with colleagues, welcome new members, and celebrate the strength of British Columbia's landscape, nursery, and garden centre community.

As the sun begins to set, we'll gather at Locality Brewing's unique floating dock for the presentation of the 2026 BCLNA Member Awards.

Each year, we come together to honour the people whose leadership, service, innovation, and commitment strengthen our profession, support our businesses, and inspire our industry. Their contributions support stronger businesses and enrich the communities we serve.

Bring the whole family! Discounted youth tickets are available, and children 10 and under attend free. With open green space, lawn games, and a relaxed outdoor setting, the Garden Party is designed to be enjoyable for all ages.

Think polished but comfortable. Sundresses, polos, button-ups, chinos, nice jeans, and comfortable shoes are all perfect for an evening on the patio. You'll be outdoors, so dress for the weather and consider bringing a light jacket for later in the evening.
