About Us
The Antigonish Garden Club
(Founded in 1983)
Members are associated with the Nova Scotia Association of Garden Clubs, but also have the option
of a "casual" membership on a monthly basis.
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. Regular meetings are held at the John Paul Center , Main St., Antigonish. Meetings start at 7PM.
Several meetings a year are "off-site", often at one of the members' gardens or a tour of other gardens.
Over the years we have participated in a number of community based efforts.
We hosted a Garden Tour for several years.
Our members have been supporters of our District Fall Rallies and are actively planning the Fall 2024 Rally here in our area. Soon members will be on the planning committee for the NSAGC 2025 Provincial Convention being held June 13-15, 2025

Our History |
The Antigonish Garden Club celebrated its twentieth year in 2003 and the thirtieth year in 2013. As noted on the front page, 2023 is the 40th Anniversary.
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. That association was resumed about 2006. The NSAGC website has information on garden clubs across the province. Many members participate in the NSAGC Facebook group. In 2023, a Facebook Group for our local Garden Club and Community was formed. |
