THE FOUNDING OF CANTON GARDEN CENTER
Canton Garden Center was organized in 1946 by four clubs: Canton Garden Club, Canton Scrosis Garden Club, Town Garden Club, and the Y.W.C.A. Evening Garden Club. Today only two of these remain active: Canton Garden Club and Town Garden Club. The first meetings were held in the second story office of the Harter Estate. The present building opened in September 1956.
OBJECTIVE OF CANTON GARDEN CENTER
The objectives of this organization shall be to maintain a Garden Center with a library as a source of free gardening information; to unite the clubs and individuals in the common interest of home and community beautification; and to encourage and train our youth in appreciation of our natural resources. This organization shall operate not for profit.

I like Marianne Richmond's quote: “Friends are the Flowers in the Garden of Life." To my Flowers – Friends of the Canton Garden Center It is my privilege to serve as your president for 2023. I look forward to again working with such knowledgeable and creative women who have taught me so much. Your support as members is needed to help us grow. Step out and volunteer at Canton Garden Center and make a new friend. Share your love of gardening with your ideas or plan a program. Please take the time to visit our gardens; our volunteers do a grand job of planting and maintaining them. The gardens at CGC are a true asset to the community How do I know? I have been told so as I've strolled through them. We have several new mini programs that we are working on. Exciting programs are being planned by the Chidren's Garden Committee and the Fall Fundraiser will be an important event again this year.. Together we can grow Canton Garden Center, add new “flowers”, have fun, and learn from one another. Carol Davidson, 2023 Canton Garden Center President |
