The Berry & District Garden Club are our first and main sponsor. Many of our district’s gardens are a celebration of trees and it is fitting that proceeds from the Club’s annual Garden Festival have provided a foundation for the establishment of this register.

The Berry & District Garden Club includes many active and interesting people, all of whom bring knowledge, enthusiasm and a love of gardens to club meetings and various garden trips and excursions.

The Club meets every 3rd Tuesday of the month (between February and November) at St Luke’s Church Hall in Princess Street, Berry at 7:30pm. Everyone is most welcome to come along, listen to guest speakers, purchase bargain-priced plants and enjoy supper with experienced local gardeners as well as newcomers to gardening – and to the district.

The Club holds two highlight events each year; the Camellia & Floral Show in August, and the Berry Gardens Festival in October.

For more information about the Club and their activities, please contact Club Secretary, Gail Paton on 0413893508.
