Welcome to the Garden Club of Niagara

The Garden Club of Niagara, established in 1995, involves those interested in both horticulture and floral design, drawing on the accumulated wisdom of experienced local gardeners and designers. Our club has a unique relationship with Niagara Parks School of Horticulture where we meet, enjoying a full and varied programme of talks, slide presentations and demonstrations. We provide yearly scholarships for NPSH students and manage the 19th century kitchen gardens at McFarland House on the Niagara River Parkway. Members assist in the clean up in May and the put to rest in October and take responsibility for one week in the summer to keep it watered, weeded and in good shape. A fun project for the club is decorating the house for Christmas when the various talents of our many members make the house look festive for Holiday tours.

Our yearly events include a Spring and Fall Flower show, fund raising with monthly meeting raffles, an annual sale of tulip bulbs from the Niagara Parks flower beds, a Christmas luncheon, an annual club picnic and opportunities to attend the Garden Clubs of Ontario events.

Workshops are offered on a variety of floral design techniques and horticultural interests. Members are encouraged to complete the Basic Floral Design course as prescribed by the Garden Clubs of Ontario, participate in workshops and enter flower shows. A lending library with an assortment of books on design, horticulture and the environment are available to all members.

​Meetings are held at 1 P.M. on the fourth Monday of each month except June, July, August and December at Niagara Parks School of Horticulture, 2565 Niagara Parkway, Niagara Falls.
