Great time! Great Food! Great weather! Fun Auction!
Held in Rick & Carol Heaslip's back yard and gardens on July 17th!
There was a great turnout, a wonderful selection of delicious food, lots of interesting donations to the fun auction, and good time was had by all. If anyone left feeling hungry, it was their own fault! Thanks to Carol and Rick Heaslip for sharing their lovely yard with us.

Calling All Youth Gardeners!

Once again the Englehart and District Horticultural Society is sponsoring the Youth Garden Competition. We hope that if you have a child or grandchild or know a child who might be interested in gardening that you will encourage them whether they wish to enter the contest or not. There will be information available about the contest at the three schools. ​
There will be three groups: JK-SK, Grade One to Three, and Grade Six and Above. 
RULES:
  • The garden can be any size. It can even be part of a larger garden, but should be set apart somehow, so the judge can see which part is yours.
  • You must plant and care for the garden yourself, including weeding it. Neatness is very important, as well as the condition of the plants.
  • Your garden can be all vegetables, all flowers, or a mixture of both.
  • Garden accessories are permitted.
  • The gardens will be judged in the second week of August. Please call Mrs. Warner (544-8916), Mrs. Fisher (544-8074), to let us know that you wish your garden to be judged.
  • There will be money prizes, as well as a trophy awarded for the first place winner in each division.
  • We hope you will enjoy growing and caring for your own garden, and will enter the competition.
  • But remember, this is a competition for you, not your parents, so you must look after the garden, although they can give you advice.
Have fun! Get growing!

Regular Meeting Location:
