Fundraisers

A plant sale was held on the last Saturday of May in conjunction with the Brussels Yard Sale Day. The plant sale raised $630.90.
A Christmas Auction was held as part of the November Pot Luck meeting. The auction was very successful and $403.00 was raised. The event was enjoyed by all those in attendance.
In order to make use of the previous street planters, they were sold to the general public which raised $315.00 and saved them from being sent to the landfill.

Highlights

2025 was another busy year. Accomplishments included: beautifying numerous areas around the community including the butterfly garden, library, fire hall and gazebo park. The new Constitution and By-laws were reviewed, updated and adopted. The municipality purchased new "water saving" planters and hanging baskets under a grant program and the Society provided the flowers and plants. A planting demonstration to promote youth education was held in conjunction with the Brussels Farmers Market. The youth poster contest was expanded.
