North York Garden Club
District 5
We are your neighbours in your community who share a common interest in gardening, our community and the environment. Our mission is to promote the love of gardening to our members and the public through meetings, guest speakers, flower shows, plants sales and community outreach activities. We have members with gardens on balconies, front lawns, in pots, in their homes and some who have no gardens but like to help with gardens in the community or want to learn about plants or enjoy the speakers. We invite you to come to our meeting to meet other gardeners, share, learn, volunteer and have fun.
