| Highlights | The 2025 year was productive and forward focused period for the Ridgetown and District Horticultural Society , marked by community garden improvements, and a strong collaboration of small towns within Chatham-Kent. One of the society's key accomplishments was the successful makeover of the Library garden , with trees. The revitalization of the Municipal pool started last fall, and will be completed by the spring of 2026. The East Garden at the Entrance to Ridgetown was rightsized to better align with long term care requirements | ||||||||
