Country Garden Club

Gardening, friendship and shared knowledge — together for more than 70 years.

Our story

A love of gardens, shared for generations.

Country Garden Club was started in 1954 by Yvonne Panton-Jones, Jill Landey and Cleone Johnston. What began as a garden club has grown into a warm community of like-minded people brought together by a love of gardening.

What we enjoy

Gardening. Learning. Friendship.

Inspiration

Speakers educate and entertain us about plants, gardens, flora and fauna.

Garden visits

In summer we love getting outdoors and discovering beautiful gardens together.

Friendship

Our club brings together congenial gatherings of people who share a great love of gardening.

“When you have a garden you exchange plants, admire each other’s antirrhinums, and you go wild to get a slip of Mrs So-and-So’s precious exhibit!”
