2. South Surrey’s Darts Hill Garden Park is becoming a busy place again this spring, as the flowers bloom and people come to witness the splendor. The facility’s plant sale this Saturday (April 15, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.) will feature a wide selection of perennials, ferns, ground covers, shrubs and trees, with many of the plants grown from seed, division or cuttings by the garden’s propagation group. “Consider becoming a member of the Darts Hill Conservancy Trust Society,” reads a post on the garden website, Dartshill.ca. “Our membership volunteers will be on hand to answer your questions.” The garden is located at 1633 170th St., Surrey.

3. New to Surrey Art Gallery this week is “High Muck a Muck: Playing Chinese,” an exhibit that focuses on the work of the artist collective known as High Muck a Muck – Nicola Harwood, Fred Wah, composer Jin Zhang and artists/performers Bessie Wapp and Thomas Loh. The digital, interactive exhibit, at the gallery’s TechLab, gives viewers the chance to play the Chinese lottery and see what life was like as a Chinese immigrant to B.C. Harwood conceived the project in Nelson as a way to commemorate the Chinese community history there which, according to her, was “completely invisible.” Elements of the exhibit, which was awarded the New Media Writing Prize in 2015, are also posted to the website Highmuckamuck.ca. The gallery is located at Bear Creek Park, and more details can be found at Surrey.ca/culture-recreation/22634.aspx.
