Founded in 1977, the Club is committed to promoting interest and education in all areas of horticulture. Join us and meet fellow gardeners who share an interest in or a passion for gardening. Learn new skills and share your experience with others. Membership is open to all persons interested in gardening, regardless of skill level or experience.
Although meetings are back to being in-person events, specific meetings may still be held virtually via Zoom. In-person meetings are held on the second Wednesday of the month at 7:30 pm at Larkin House, located at 76 Larkin Drive (adjacent to the tennis courts). Occasionally special meetings or events may occur on other days or at other times or at other locations. Please consult the Agenda below for the current year’s event schedule as well as to double-check as to whether a specific meeting event will be held in-person or virtually via Zoom.
Please note that Non-members (guests) may attend any meeting for a nominal guest fee of $5.00 per meeting (see the Agenda below for additional details).

We’ve had a special request from the Barrhaven Food Cupboard Garden, a volunteer operation which grows fresh produce for the Barrhaven Food Cupboard, for donations of small square nursery pots – 4 inch, 6 inch — as they are running low on supplies, especially after giveaways of vegetable seedlings, including to the BGC Annual Plant Sale last week. Small, rectangular nursery pots with curved corners such as used by PC/Loblaws and Fresh Farms are also usable for the BFC Garden’s growing operations, but they do not need any round pots.
Drop-off Location: Barrhaven Food Cupboard Garden next to the Barrhaven United Church, 3013 Jockvale Rd (Off of back/side parking lot)
Please place pots near or in the BFC Garden shed
Types of Pots Needed: 4 or 6 inch small square nursery pots, including 6-pack containers
4 or 6 inch small rectangular nursery pots with curved corners
