Youth Garden Competitions 2023!
**Please Register by JULY 15th**

​An invitation to the youth of Englehart and the surrounding townships to enter the Englehart and District Horticultural Society's annual Youth Garden Competition which is being held again this year! There will be four age classes and the gardens will be judged in the first half of August. We will arrange for judges to visit the gardens and talk about it with your child. Gardening is a wonderful activity for anyone able to do it, as it teaches patience, caring for the environment, and the joys of anticipation. It gets children outdoors and allows them to see the outcome of their own hard work. Please encourage the children you know to consider trying this wonderful activity. There will be further information posted here often. The gardens will be judged in August and the judges will make arrangements with you regarding the date and time.

It only costs $10.00 per year to belong.  For more information you can check out our website, our Facebook Page, or check out a copy of our monthly newsletter available at the Englehart and Area Library or on this website.
