Membership is open to anyone who loves learning how to start a garden in any container or plot of land to any seasoned gardener who wishes to expand their knowledge, all in a warm and friendly environment.
For the low price of $15 single membership, $20 family (two adults at the same address) you will get far more out of the meetings with speakers, seasonal gardening tips and more.
In accordance with Provincial Health Regulations regarding COVID-19, we regret that our May and June Meetings have been cancelled. Township of Scugog – COVID-19 Public Notice #10: Scugog Extends closure of public facilities, postpones programs and cancels events until July 3rd.
Stay home if you can, mask up if you can’t. We’ll see you in July – we hope!
