Club Background
Cottage Lake Garden Club was established
in 2006. The original members included some expert gardeners who had studied horticulture. Some were self taught gardeners
while others were novices. Monthly meetings gave them the opportunity to learn by sharing ideas and knowledge.
Mission and Objectives:
- Provide a forum for members to share their mutual love of
gardening;
- Present opportunities to learn more about
horticulture by going together on field trips such as garden tours, flower shows, garden talks and other similar garden related
activities;
- Afford opportunities to socialize with
fellow members in supportive and enjoyable ways;
- Offer
participation in a variety of community based civic beautification, horticulture projects and outreach projects.
Meetings

Activities
Cottage Lake Garden Club is a Non-Profit organization sponsoring regular
meetings. Our meetings include horticultural presentations by members or guest speakers. We conduct plant sales,
organize community beautification projects and tour gardens together. We adopt a family in need at Christmas. The
club has several socials during the year. If a member has an illness or stressful situation, we love to lend a helping
hand by providing meals and tending their garden. Members are asked to actively participate in club meetings
and community projects. We understand life happens so it isn't always possible to participate in every activity,
but the point of joining a garden club is to develop your skills and reach out to the community.
