About
Bathurst Gardeners’ Club Inc. was formed in 1990. It is open to all people who are interested in gardens and gardening- you don’t have to be an expert or have a championship garden to be a member. We are affiliated with the Garden Clubs of Australia Inc.
For many years the club has been involved in community projects. In 2010 and 2012 the club was awarded The Eleanor McLeod Award from Garden Clubs of Australia “For Outstanding Service by an Affiliated Club to the Community”.
Meetings are held on the first Sunday of each month, generally commencing at 2pm. From September to May the meetings are held in outdoor venues – mostly in gardens – and we make them as varied and interesting as possible. For out of town meetings members are encouraged to car pool. During the winter months, the meetings move indoors, generally with a guest speaker.
At the end of the meetings, we enjoy a cuppa provided by the Club, with members being asked to bring a plate to share. During this time we swap plant cuttings, check out the seed bank, swap gardening ideas, endeavour to solve gardening problems and run a raffle to supplement Club funds. Members are asked to wear name badges at meetings. Gardeners’ Club name badges are available from 58 George.
