The society meets at 7 p.m. on the second Thursday of each month from September until June. Their meetings take place in the Cheltenham Community Room, which is located at 14190 Creditview Rd. in Cheltenham. Maureen Baker, communications director for the society, notes that the room is accessed by a side door by the Cheltenham Firehall. Meetings include refreshments and presentations from visiting guest speakers, and the society already has events planned through until June. “It's very informative,” said Baker. While Caledon Horticultural Society is the official name of the group, Baker said “it's a little too formal for me… typically I'll just call it the garden club.” The society is open to all who want to learn about gardening and socialize in a fun and friendly environment. On March 9, Baker said a well-known garden club speaker, Wolfe Bonham, will be speaking at the society's meeting about recycled items in the garden. “Through his experience at the professional landscaping company, Peace, Love and Landscaping, and his many worldwide travels on his motorbike, Wolfe will delight us with new ideas and creations,” said the Society. Guests can attend a Caledon Horticultural Society meeting for $3, or they can become a member of the society for a whole year for $20. Those with questions are welcome to contact club president Bobbie Bennett by email at gscale@bell.net. Future guest speakers include Lynn Sinclair Smith, who will talk about the development of Friendship Gardens at Headwaters Healthcare in Orangeville; Mark Zelinski, who will talk about Turtle Island and the Royal Botanical Gardens in Hamilton; and Don Scallen with his presentation called “Anything but Grass.” Baker said she's excited and hopeful to welcome new members this year.  “We're really trying to promote these next few meetings,” said Baker. --------------------------------------------------- Images: --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Post date: 2023-03-02 11:11:04 Post date GMT: 2023-03-02 16:11:04 Post modified date: 2023-03-02 11:11:07 Post modified date GMT: 2023-03-02 16:11:07 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Export of Post and Page as text file has been powered by [ Universal Post Manager ] plugin from www.gconverters.com
