Fundy Gardeners October Meeting

🌸🌿 What a Wonderful Gardening Season! 🌿🌸

As summer comes to a close, we’re celebrating the joy, learning, and community shared by the Fundy Gardener Clubacross Greater Saint John.

🌱 Our mission: “To provide a forum for gardeners to share their interest in and enthusiasm for gardening.”

✨ This season we enjoyed:
🌼 18 scheduled Garden Tours
🌼 8 surprise “Pop-Up” Tours
🌼 A special 30th Anniversary Garden Tour & Celebration 🎉
🌼 3 tours kindly hosted by non-members
🌼 Seasons in the Garden – where two gardening mentors shared tips and showed how their gardens change from spring to fall

From Saint Martins to Kingston Peninsula, from Rothesay to Hampton, and every corner in between, our gardeners opened their gates, shared their passion, and welcomed fellow garden lovers. 💚

👏 A big thank you to all the gardeners who hosted tours and events — your hard work and pride shone through!

🌟 Special thanks as well to our tour organizers and our amazing email guru for keeping everything running smoothly and everyone connected.

Here’s to another season of growing, sharing, and celebrating the joy of gardening together! 🌿💚🌸
