About Us
If you are interested in gardening, this is the club for you! We meet monthy on the 2nd Tuesday of the month, except January, at Centennial Lodge in Queens Park. Other activities include the Spring Plant Sale, the Annual Garden Tour and Picnic, a Christmas Dinner and several social outings selected to provide unique gardening experiences.
Meetings are highlighted by invited speakers or special themes. October is the ever-popular Silent Auction and December is the year-end social and awards night.
The member-to-member sharing of gardening ideas is emphasized at the "Bring-to-Share" portions of the April and September meetings. Our In-Club Show is the highlight of the June meeting. If members desire, the Queensborough Urban Farmers Fall Fair in September is another venue for judged competition.
The Society also financially supports college and university horticultural students through the B.C. Council of Garden Clubs scholarship and bursary programs. Through our Donations Committee, we give aid to horticultural projects throughout New Westminster.
Whether it is a competition award, prizes from the raffle or gardening tips and ideas, you will always leave with some treasure and of course - the monthly newsletter.
Tea and goodies, contributed by club members, are shared at every meeting.

A blast from the past...
Our brochure. A little outdated, but mostly still valid! Hopefully this will be updated soon!
