The Mahone Bay Garden Club has been involved in the Town’s “Buy a Bench” campaign.
Originally we donated a bench and placed it in the Aquatics Garden and we also donated a bench which was placed on Edgewater, facing down the harbour. We knew that this bench would have to be moved at the start of the re-development of the waterfront.
This bench has now been rebuilt and the plaque attached to the back and is now placed in Jubilee Park overlooking the pond.
Thank you to Public Works, Town of Mahone Bay

The next meeting of The Mahone Bay Garden Club will be held on Thursday, October 8, 2026, at 7:30 p.m. in the Community Room at The Mahone Bay Centre.

Oren Hercz, RHP, will be speaking on Herbal Medicine for Gardeners. Many of the “volunteers” (aka weeds) and perennials already growing in your garden are powerful medicinal plants. From soothing everyday ailments to supporting your overall health, these familiar plants have more to offer than you may think. In this talk, you’ll be introduced to the basic principles of herbal medicine and discover how they can be used to transform common garden plants into useful remedies for you and your family.

Guests are welcome!

The September meeting of the Mahone Bay Garden Club was our annual plant exchange when each member brings three plants and goes home with three new plants.
Once again we had an interesting variety of plants to share. These included Azalea, Crocosmia, Dicentra, Helenium, Heuchera, Hosta, Lambs Ears , Lilac, Phlox, and more. Each member spoke about the plant that they had brought and there were some old favourites and new varieties.
Thank you to Elaine for welcoming us for our meeting, before the exchange we toured her lovely garden in Lilydale.

This week was our final garden tour for this summer when we visited Simon and Jill’s garden. Many of us have driven by their home and seen their extensive vegetable garden and so it was most interesting to go inside the fence and see the amazing variety of vegetables that they are growing. This includes a 'Three Sisters garden ’which is a Native American companion planting method that grows corn, pole beans, and squash together. The corn supports the beans, the beans fix nitrogen in the soil, and the squash acts as living mulch to suppress weeds.
Thank you to Brenda and Sidney for organizing our tours this year and to all who welcomed us to their gardens.
