The Coldwater Garden Club

Welcome to The Coldwater Garden Club

"Keeping Coldwater & District Beautiful"

The Coldwater & District Horticultural Society was established in 1952 as a member of District # 16 of The Ontario Horticultural Association.  We will be celebrating our 60th Anniversary in 2012.

Everyone is Welcome     Bring A Friend     Meet a New Friend

Please join us as a new member or a guest at our open monthly meeting.  A place where gardeners of all levels meet to learn and share ideas, tips, and advice, that can assist in the creation and beautification of local gardens.  Enjoy the company of fellow gardeners. 

Our members come from the village of Coldwater and the neighbouring district which includes Moonstone, Vasey, Warminster, Waubaushene, Severn, Honey Harbour, Midland and Orillia.

We meet at St. Andrew's Church, 28 Gray Street, Coldwater, ON.  This facility is easily accessible with a ramp and an elevator.  Lots of free parking.  * Please note this is a new location for 2012.

Our meetings are held on the 3rd Thursday of the month from 7:30pm - 9:30pm.
