The snow has barely melted but many of us are looking ahead to our summer garden; eager to get things started. Although we can’t get in there and start digging in the soil, now is a great time to join a local garden club. It doesn’t matter whether you have a green thumb or you’re a complete beginner, you’re likely to pick up something new and perhaps share some tips you’ve picked up along the way.
Here in Pointe-Claire, the Pointe-Claire Horticultural Society is a great place to get together with fellow gardeners, new and experienced alike. Throughout the year there are speakers, hands-on workshops, garden tours, a perennial plant sale every spring and a members plant swap in the fall. There’s also a fun informational newsletter and webinars. Meetings are held in English, usually on the fourth Wednesday of the month. The best part is the annual family membership for 2024 is only $20!
You’ll find the full 2024 schedule of events on their webpage (pteclairehort.org) . If you’re interested, just fill out a membership form or contact them at pteclairehort@gmail.com. It’s the best $20 you’ll ever spend!
