Home - Centerport Garden Club

Just before the death of flowers,
And before they are buried in snow.
There comes a festival season,
when nature is all aglow.

We are a working garden club, with a range of committees, who work within our Community to improve the quality of our lives and those of our neighbors.

Planting Tips

The first frost day in our area is October 25. Frost is likely Nov 7-April 3.
Fall is for planting bulbs. Alliums & Daffodils are a great value since nothing eats them and they multiply reliably
When dividing up your plants this fall, put aside a few extras to donate to our Flower Plant Sale in the Spring.
