"Unofficially" we are the largest gardening club in Nova Scotia. We meet eight times a year, and we would love to get to know you! You don't have to be an experienced gardener to join us for informative presentations, workshops and other events. We welcome anyone with an interest in growing plants for beauty or food - or both!
Gardeners Helping Gardeners
We meet on the 3rd Wednesday each month, at 7:00 Sept - Nov/Jan - May
in the meeting room at the Tantallon Library. Please note, this is a new time and a new venue! Guests are always welcome to attend our meetings!
New Content !
All about the Crossroads Garden - a full history, and photos ; coming soon - site plan, plant names for your info...with links to everything you need to know about the plants in our garden!
Our speaker will be Mr. George Macphail. George has worked as a forest technician for Stora, owner-operator of GMP Forestry, and Macphail's Field Nursery. Although he has hybridized hundreds of azaleas and rhododendrons, you will discover he has a real passion for roses. Thousands of roses under grow lights and more in pots outdoors attest to this.
George will be looking for volunteers to take home one of his special Elmsdale roses, provided you agree to participate in a 3-year trial.Come and let George take the mystery and fear out of growing roses!
We will do our best to keep our Calendar of Events updated as information is received about gardening events in the area.
