2015 NSAGC Convention

Invitation

A warm welcome from the Western District of the Nova Scotia Association of Garden Clubs. This year our convention is in Yarmouth, NS at the Rodd Grand Hotel 417 Main St. on June 5th and 6th

Our area truly loves our gardens and is peacock proud of them. There will be self-guided tours of local gardens and directions to unique walking paths. The convention starts with a tea sponsored by Mayor Mood and the town of Yarmouth. It is to be in our historic Frost Park next to the Town Hall. We have entertainment and a ghost walk tour later on Friday.

Saturday is a full day of speakers, vendors, door prizes and is capped off with a lovely banquet at the Rodd’s Grand Hotel followed by our own award winning author Niki Jabbour as guest speaker. Niki gets the most out of a vegetable garden and is willing to share her secrets.

Other parts of our convention you might like are a photo contest, see NSAGC site for regulations and a floral design competition. Only one floral design per club, but you can certainly collaborate. Rules will be posted on the NSAGC site later.

We would truly like to show you our hospitality. Register today and enjoy some time with like-minded folks.
