Want to spend your afternoons outdoors and meet neighbours with the same interests? The Ashgrove Gardeners' Guild is a volunteer group for seniors who enjoy horticulture. You will help maintain community flower beds around the Ashgrove neighbourhood and swap gardening tips with fellow members.
Meetings are held every Wednesday from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. between May and October. The group gathers at the Ashgrove Community Centre to plan seasonal planting, discuss care techniques, and coordinate volunteer shifts. All skill levels are welcome, from experienced gardeners to those just starting out.
There is no cost to join. You only need a willingness to get your hands dirty and enjoy the outdoors. Bring your own gardening gloves and tools if you have them, though basic supplies are often available.
