The Garden Club Of London

About The Garden Club Of London

The Garden Club of London is a community organization located in the Westmount neighborhood on Springbank Drive. It serves the local community by promoting interest in botanical activities through horticulture, floral artistry, and environmental awareness and education. The organization is well known for its Woodland Restoration Project, which has been active since 1990. This initiative focuses on restoring a woodland area between Wonderland Road and the Civic Garden Complex into a Carolinian forest. The project involves the development and maintenance of native and Carolinian plants, which are identified and clearly labeled for the education of park visitors. Members participate in weekly maintenance tasks and year-round activities such as planting and weeding to cultivate a balanced ecosystem. The club also engages in community involvement through a mentorship program that invites secondary school students to participate in spring clean-up, mulching, and planting to foster civic pride and responsibility. The Woodland Garden is open to the public at all times, providing a space for people to sit, reflect on nature, and experience the local environment. The organization is currently led by President Cathy Savage for the 2025-2027 term.
