A BRIEF HISTORY OF OUR CLUB
The Fairfield Garden Club was founded in November 1972 by a handful of garden enthusiasts from the local community, who felt that Fairfield should have it's own Garden Club.
From those early days until now, the Garden Club has always shared in the wealth of friendship, of garden expertise and community spirit.
In 1991, we moved to our new home, the Commercial Hall, Fairfield Showground.
Our Annual Diary consists of a monthly meeting, each with a guest speaker, a display of plants, flowers, fruit and vegetables. A Spring Show is held annually and is open to all. We receive support for trophies and prize money for the Spring Show, from our local clubs and community, to whom we are very grateful.
We also hold an Annual Spring Garden Competition, which is open to all residents, businesses and schools of the Fairfield district. It is sponsored by the City of Fairfield Council.
During the year we have a local garden walkabout, bus trips, street stalls and other interesting activities.
Points are awarded each month during competitions, and at the end of each year, the person with the most points wins the Ian Thorley trophy.
Our club is for all ages, including children.
Membership is welcomed and open to all.
