About Us

Located in Simcoe County, we are a diverse district with 17 Societies and Garden Clubs that have experience gardening in some of the difficult climates our region experiences. All of our Societies and Garden Clubs are welcoming, knowledgeable and best of all, enjoy having fun while learning!
At the present time, Societies and Garden Club's are transitioning back to in-person meetings as COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted. However please contact the individual Societies or District 16 if you have questions about future meetings and events, or send us an email to gardenontariod16@gmail.com and we’ll help you find out the information you are looking for.
