The New location for our Plant sale on May 24, 2025 - Beach Park - was expanded to include vendors with horticulturally related products. Despite inclement weather we made good profits and intend to have it at the same location in 2026.
Our member garden tour at Victoria Place in Bobcaygeon was well attended and enjoyed by all as we had golf carts for the tour. Our Sept. BBQ was well attended.

Highlights

The garden teams stepped up smartly to deal with the heat, drought and watering to ensure a lovely display in all our gardens.
The May plant sale was hugely successful, with the addition of several local vendors and our own garden wares table. Special events of interest such as the field trip to the lavender farm & gardens; members’ garden tour held in August at Victoria Place and the two flower shows were all successful. We renewed the annual scholarship for Fleming College to support a student studying horticultural.
