Gardening in Pointe-Claire

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 THAT the annual family membership for 2024 is only $20.

You’ll find the full 2024 schedule of events on the website (pteclairehort.org). If you’re interested, just  fill out a membership form or contact us at pteclairehort@gmail.com.  It’s the best $20 you’ll ever spend!
