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.

"Fostering Relationships Through Plants"
To My Canton Garden Center Members: I am excited to be your 2024 Canton Garden Center President! I look forward to working with everyone to continue our garden and community activities to provide beautiful Stadium Park gardens. This is such an incentive to draw community visitors and all the lasting memories family members make using our gardens. We have several committees that are busy planning programs for 2024. Also, the Flower Show will return with floral workshops to give members ideas and enhance floral arrangement skills. I also want to challenge our members to volunteer on a committee to foster relations with each other and our love of talking and working with plants. Again, let's make this a year to foster Canton Garden Center and garden club relationships through plants. I look forward to members supporting the Canton Garden Center vision, stepping out of their comfort zones to share their gardening skills and ideals and creating new friendships.
