Four Seasons Garden Club

Club Meetings
We usually meet on the second Tuesday of each month at 10 a.m. at various locations around the county.  Our programs include speakers, workshops, and field trips.  Members enjoy sharing gardening tips and experiences, as well as delicious luncheons provided by members or out at restaurants.
Members of the Four Seasons Garden Club learned about the unique challenges of growing lavender in the harsh Quebec climate while at Bleu Lavande farm on August 4, 2009.
Ten year old May Hanlon, an honorary Youth Member of the Four Seasons Garden Club, stands among picturesque rows of some 200,000 lavender plants. She enjoyed the trip to the lavender farm, saying it was "smelly in a good way".
