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 Gardening Relationships Through Plants"
To My Canton Garden Center Members: I am excited to be your 2025 Canton Garden Center President. 2024 was a great year with everyone stepping out of their comfort zone to foster relationships with each other through participation in the Canton Garden Center programs and activities. For 2025 we will continue to” Foster Relationships” by connecting not only with each other but also have more involvement with the community. I am looking forward to us as a group working collectively towards growth in what the Canton Garden Center has to offer to the community. I challenge you to step outside of your comfort zone and participate by signing up to help on a committee. We have several committees that are busy planning their 2025 program and will need volunteers to help. A few committees we have back this year are Holly Pine Lane, beautification, mini-programs, flower show and scholarship. Looking forward to 2025 and working with everyone towards growth, fun and fellowship! Let’s flourish!! Anette Montgomery - 2024-2025 Canton Garden Center President |
