Cultivation of Art

Where Art Meets the Garden

What began as a small art show has grown into a unique celebration of art, nature and community at Vale's Greenhouse.

Since the first show in 2009, Vale's Greenhouse and Maryanne's Eden have brought local Alberta artists together in an inspiring greenhouse setting. The show has grown to feature more than 40 artists whose work is displayed throughout the greenhouses and sales areas.

Visitors can wander through the greenhouse, discover original artwork and enjoy the experience of seeing art surrounded by plants, flowers and garden displays.
