Gardening in the Old East Village

The Old East Garden Club exists to help its members…

• learn about horticulture
• share expertise
• make friends
• share resources
• work to build our terrific neighbourhood

If you live in Old East (or wish you did!) please join us. Novices and experts are equally welcome, although we could use a few more experts :-)...

If you are a member of the Old East Village Community Association, there is no charge to join the garden club. We just need to make sure we have an e-mail address for you. If you're not a member of the OEVCA, please complete a Membership form and pay your $10 annual membership fee.

So far we have held annual well-attended plant exchange in May, at least 1 "garden crawl" tour of members' gardens per year, one seminar on garden design, two seed swaps and a couple of road trips.

Meetings are hosted at Lorne Ave. Public School, in the 2nd floor community room. Please use the English St. entrance
