Welcome to the St. George Garden Club! St. George is a small village with a population of 3350 located in the County of Brant between Cambridge and Brantford. There are many historic buildings on Main Street, including gift shops, restaurants, pizzerias, a deli and tea house. The St. George Mill built in 1869, known as Snowball Mill, began as a flour mill in 1885, became the Feed & Seed from 1967-1993 and the current owners have converted the buiding into business units including a coffee shop, flower shop and animal hospital. There is a three storey red brick mansion built in 1888, known as Sunnyside, which is the home of the current County of Brant mayor.

Applefest, which takes place on the third weekend in September, draws thousands of people from surronding areas. The Garden Club sponsors a "Porch Decorating Contest" during the festival.

Our club has approximately 116 members and within that membership we have a range of ages and experience. Our membership meetings are composed of guest speakers, floral competitions and social time. We often include field trips and workshops over the course of the year as well. It's very important to the clubs executive that we keep our membership engaged.

Our annual meeting is held with our Christmas social at which time we have games, door prizes and a gift exchange. We also take this time to recognize those members who have gone above and beyond.

We offer a $1,000.00 scholarship each year to a Brant County secondary school student who is going on to post secondary studies in horticulture, agriculture, forestry or environmental studies.

Our mission is to encourage interest and improvement in horticulture:
By holding meetings with an instructional value on subjects connected with the theory and practice of horticulture
By encouraging the improvement of private and public grounds
By giving awards and scholarships
By distribution of plants, bulbs and flowers
By promoting the circulation of horticultural information
By promoting gardening activities with children and youth
