The camas are out in Garry Meadow at the north end of St. Luke's Cemetery. Please come by and take a look.
At this time of the year, the cemetery may look a little untidy as we wait for the camas and other flowers to bloom and die down before the grass is cut.
Over the summer, the cemetery will become dry and far less colourful. So please enjoy the flowers and blossoms while they are out in the spring.
