Stoney Creek Garden Club & Horticultural Society
Welcome to the Stoney Creek Garden Club & Horticultural Society's Website!
The Stoney Creek Garden Club & Horticultural Society currently serves members from the Hamilton, Stoney Creek and surrounding areas. The Society is an affiliate of the Ontario Horticultural Association, District 6.
Knowledgeable guest speakers are featured at monthly meetings and competitive Flower Shows are held in May, June and September. Its popular Annual Plant Sale is held the Saturday of the Long May weekend at Battlefield Park Pavilion, King St. East (east of Centennial Parkway) in Stoney Creek.
In 2010, the Society renovated the Royal Canadian Legion Hall's two gardens facing Stoney Creek's King Street under the guidance of one of its talented members. See Legion Garden for story and pictures.
Last year, the Club awarded a bursary to a high school student in a Horticultural program and also gave subscriptions of Chirp and Chickadee to two local elementary schools.
MEETINGS:
In 2011, the Stoney Creek Garden Club will meet on the 2nd Monday of the month, except in October when it will meet on the third Monday. No meetings are held in July, August or December.

My Hands in Dirt
by Shirley Temple
I hated it. I hated the sun beating down on me, I hated the dirt under my nails, I hated the planting, the weeding and the picking of the vegetables and fruits we had so laboriously planted in the spring. I was 12 years old and I swore that when I grew up I would never have my hands in dirt again. My father laughed.
