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." So, to my “Flowers” of the Canton Garden Center, I look forward to serving as the CGC President for 2022. The past two years have brought challenges for all of us. We as a group of garden clubs have been able to work though these changes with members who stepped forward and kept us going. We made new friends along the way and reconnected with old friends. I feel a strong responsibility to the Canton Garden Center in making a garden that grows, where flowers bloom, growing stronger and spreading their joy and beauty with the seasons. Our garden is a wonderful gift to the community and provides educational programs and environmental awareness We have plans for 2022: a bus trip, mini programs, Fall Luncheon, and various activities which we hope will spark renewed interest. During my term, I plan to attend meetings of the member garden clubs. The objective is to make new friendships and learn what the Canton Garden Center can do to help the garden clubs achieve their goals. I challenge you to grow new “Flowers” for your garden club. I am in this position only because of you and I hope to work as you'd like to see. Looking forward to meeting new “Flowers”. Carol Davidson, 2022 Canton Garden Center President |
