Best Garden of 2023
6 Sunnylea Crescent
A special thank you to all the gardeners for their tireless efforts in creating and maintaining these beautiful gardens for everyone to view and enjoy.
Each garden represents the owners style and vision for their personal space. Each one unique and wonderful in their own way.
The use of trees, shrubs, grasses and perennials, the flow of paths and beds, all have created a special space.
Thank you to the residents of Grimsby who voted and took the time to visit the gardens.
Our thanks also goes to all our sponsors for their ongoing support.
As a garden club our aim is to beautify Grimsby and to bring its many wonderful gardens to the public to appreciate.

Review of past year accomplishments by Stephen Hargrave:Membership remains strong. Welcome to our new members. Reminder to renew membership for 2022.
Thank you to Liza Fuller, Plant Sale Chair, and Marilyn Cornwell and all the volunteers, for outstanding plant sales in 2021.
We had another successful Trillium program this past year. Thank you to Sue Rigato, Trillium chair, and all the volunteer judges.
In conjunction with the Town of Grimsby, we created a new garden in front of Town Hall, called the Hope Garden, which we hope to expand each year. We beautified Grimsby, thanks to our Civic Chairs, Karen Gough and Jay Du Boisson, with planters, hanging baskets and the Elm Street garden beds. Thanks to all the volunteers for their help to maintain these public gardens. The Town Hall Christmas tree is back this year, more beautiful than ever, thanks to Roberta Blackie and Lauren Doig, who also created the Fantasy of Trees entry.
Next year, we will have the 2022 Garden Tour, Chaired by Deena Errampalli.

November 5 2021 Update
We just completed a very successful plant sale raising almost $500 for Grimsby Benevolent Fund. Stephen Hargrave and Joe Fisher repotted the patio plants at Malivoire's, and there were incredible deals available. We sent out the offer via our newsletter, and via Facebook and Instagram. Thanks to all of you who took home a beautiful house plant, and supported our local charities.
The Townhall Christmas tree is going to look splendid this year with new decorations. Everyone is invited to come out Wednesday November 24th at 1:00pm to decorate it.
Our AGM is coming up via Zoom on Monday, November 29th, 2021. See our 2022 Executive and Board.
We look forward to in person meetings - the Town has not opened the Livingston Activity Centre yet, so we'll keep you posted.
Our Monthly Raffle continues in January 2022 - get your ticket to win a case of Malivoire wines.

Our 51st Annual Plant Sale was a Success!
This year the Plant Sale was held outdoors at 472 Woolverton Road by appointment, following COVID protocols. There was a wide variety of annuals, perennials, hanging baskets, herbs, vegetables, and even Native / Carolinian trees. Our donations from wholesalers and retailers was substantially larger than last year's.
We had visitors from Hamilton Horticultural Society and Niagara-on-the-Lake Garden Club who provided wonderful feedback on our plant variety and knowledge about the plants. Three cheers for our amazing team of volunteers.
A special THANK YOU to those that donated plants. Without you and the amazing support from our local nurseries, we would not have had the success we did. Again... thank you.
We did have some plants left over including grasses, hostas and day lilies. Some of these will be donated to the YMCA and Elm Street gardens. As for the rest, you are welcome to take a country drive to 472 Woolverton Rd and if you see some leftover plants you'd like, help yourself and make a donation to the Grimsby Garden Club Plant Sale. You will see a cash box with the left over plants.
This year’s plant sale revenue exceeded fundraising goals and set a new record high for money raised. This puts the garden club on good footing to continue supporting town beautification projects, our monthly speaker series and student scholarships.
A special thank you to our dig team Joe Fisher and Stephen Hargrave and to my co-chair Marilyn Cornwell.

Sale ends Sunday, April 18th 6:00pm
We're selling out so take action now!
Join the Grimsby residents who are bringing our natural heritage back to Grimsby with native trees and shrubs!
That’s why the Grimsby Garden Club and Ontariogreen, in partnership with the Town of Grimsby, is holding their First Annual Earth Day Carolinian Native Tree & Shrub Sale.
The trees and shrubs for sale are native to our special Carolinian eco-zone. They are critical to our birds and their fledglings in the Spring and to our pollinators throughout the season. Bringing native trees to each home is a simple and critical step to keeping Grimsby’s natural heritage intact. Consider the vibrantly-coloured, spring-blooming Redbud, or the exotic-flavoured fruit of the Pawpaw.
There will be more than a dozen species to choose from. A list of the trees and shrubs available, along with information about their features, size, soil requirements etc. is available here: http://www.ontariogreen.ca/tree-sale.html
Payment for your tree and shrub order can be made securely online through PayPal, Debit or Credit Card.
The trees and shrubs sizes available are: 1 gal pot size for $20; 3 gal pot size for $30 and rare deciduous varieties for $40 in a 3 gal pot size.
All the trees and shrubs orders can be picked up at the Town of Grimsby’s Town Hall parking lot (back parking lot) at 160 Livingston Ave, Grimsby, on Thursday, April 22nd between 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. Alternate arrangements can be made by calling Liza Fuller at 289-680-6087.
The Grimsby Garden Club and Ontariogreen would like to thank the Town of Grimsby; Earthgen Tree Nursery (https://www.earthgen.ca) and Field 2 Home (https://field2home.com) for their support of the Carolinian Native Tree/Shrub sale.
