Tavistock & District Horticultural Society
We are a group of people of all ages and all backgrounds brought together by a common interest in gardening. Our meetings are an opportunity for learning, for sharing and for having a bit of fun.
We meet at the Tavistock Mennonite Church, 131 Wettlaufer Street in Tavistock, at 7:30 pm on the first Tuesday of the month.
Our organization is well known in the community for establishing and maintaining Tavistock's public gardens.
We always welcome guests and new members. Come grow with us.
