Highlights

2025 was another busy year for Lake Simcoe Gardeners. Members participated in special competitions - Dessert, Photography, Poetry, Pumpkin Patch and Christmas. Also, we had our Speciman and Design shows, Plantings, Way to Grow and Adopt-a-Road. We have some awesome gardeners always willing to "show off their wares"! Monthly guest speakers were an important part of our club. Sadly, we "bade farewell" to our long time location and searched for a new one. For the past two years, I had a great time being the club's President and will miss it!!
