Membership Benefits

You are invited to join us at a Tuesday evening meeting to see what we are all about, and to find out if you want to be a member.  Although we are called the ‘Newfoundland Horticultural Society’, we are amateur gardeners who share in common a love of growing plants.  New members are always welcome.  An individual or family membership is just $20 per year.

 We meet the first Tuesday of each month at 8:00 pm in St. David’s Church Hall, 98 Elizabeth Avenue, St. John’s (except for December, January, July, and August).
