While here you can view exhibitions featuring packing, processing, home preserving, picking, orchards and more. This museum tells the story of the Okanagan Valley's transformation from wide open cattle range to beautifully manicured, symmetrical orchards. Several bonuses in this museum like their live Bee hive with a tunnel for the bees to come & go. Fascinating to see the bees busy at work so close up. They have a gorgeous and very large space in the next room which is perfect for any kind of event. There are interactive stations for the kids which were entertaining and informative. We loved this museum and put it as a place to visit while in Kelowna.

We had…read moreheard of the artist through friends who bought a piece from Geert Maas years ago that we were admiring at their home and decided to visit the sculpture gardens ourselves during our visit to Kelowna recently. And wow, what a great decision!! The artist himself and his wife are just lovely people. Very elderly. And so Geert is no longer producing new work, but what he does have in his gallery and in the gardens surrounding their house is magnificent and truly unique! We spent several hours walking through the gardens, gallery and speaking with the artist's lovely wife, who was so welcoming and so informative about everything to do with the process of creating his fabulous works. We purchased a small piece in bronze, which I will forever treasure. I highly recommend that anybody who has a true love of original Canadian art take a stop by these gorgeous gardens in the Kelowna Okanagan Valley. It should be a definite destination on your holiday.

I'm sure it has parking, but we just parked in a lot next to some apartments and walked through the grass. Summerland is a laid back town and we didn't see any parking tickets or speed traps while there. The museum was a wonderful find for us because the administrator, Sherril Foster, was incredibly helpful and patient! I went in with some family members looking for history of our family and how they came to Summerland. Ms. Foster was kind enough to take out all the old binders, photos, and records she had of our two sets of ancestors that traveled from Japan to Summerland. We spent almost two hours with Ms. Foster and in the end we walked out with a huge amount of information and clarity on our roots we didn't imagine we'd find in a small sleepy town museum. Ms. Foster also allowed us to make copies of her records about our family. She normally would make the copies, but she did more research while she allowed me to use her copier in her office. She also plans to scan and email several photos that include my ancestors from the 1920's in Summerland. There is a computer with internet access that we were able to use to do more research on. There were also several books for sale, one of which we purchased because it mentioned our family in it. As we did some research, my husband wandered the museum and took a look at the displays. There were several interesting displays and we were impressed with the level of displays for a museum in a small town that exists on donations. Make sure to donate as you come in, as there is no entrance fee! And say hi to Ms. Sherril Foster, she's one helpful lady!
