Beecroft Garden Club brings together locals with a mutual love of gardening.
*MONTHLY MEET
The Club meets on the first Tuesday evening of each month February to December.
On arrival Members have time to browse the cuttings & potted plants display & sales tables. And of course socialise with other members. Then comes the guest speaker's talk, followed by a question and answer session. The evening closes with Members enjoying a cup of tea/supper.
During the meeting there is time for members to ask questions about gardening issues. With experienced gardeners at hand to guide, usually a Club member is able to provide a solution.
*GARDEN RAMBLES
In Spring and Autumn our Club holds Garden Rambles to visit various members' gardens. These are always a relaxing day ending with afternoon tea.
*EXCURSIONS & TRIPS
Each year our Club organises a coach trip for members to visit gardens outside of Sydney, including day trips as well as weekend getaways.

...DID YOU KNOW?
Beecroft Garden Club began in response to a challenge issued by the Head Gardener of Kirribilli House during a speaking engagement by him to a Beecroft audience. On learning that there was no gardening club or association in the suburb he called for volunteers to inaugurate such a body. Muriel Jones, a long-time resident of Beecroft, accepted the challenge and the Club was born. The inaugural meeting was held in July 1955.
Our Club is affiliated with the Garden Clubs of Australia Inc., an umbrella organisation for Australia-wide garden clubs.
