The Antigonish Garden Club
(Founded in 1983)

The Antigonish Garden Club  celebrated its twentieth year in 2003.
It was organized by a group of interested gardeners in 1983 and has continued to have an active membership and interesting program topics.
Association with the Nova Scotia Association of Garden Clubs occurred until 1991, when it withdrew from that association, but continued to be very active locally. Membership is on a casual basis , but we have a very dedicated core group which contributes to the planning and success of all Garden Club activities.
Regular meetings are held on the third Monday of each month; September through June. Meetings are typically held in the J. Bruce Brown Building at St. Francis Xavier University. Several meetings a year are "off-site", often at one of the members gardens.
We formed an online Group in late 2004. It is open to interested gardeners from our area.
