About us
The Hilliard Area Garden Club is the place for you if you enjoy playing in the dirt and growing something beautiful
Our club has been active for over 50 years with wonderful members: women, men, and couples of varying ages and gardening interests. The Hilliard Community Senior Center was the former home for most of our meetings. Starting in January 2025, we will meet at our new home at 3789 Cemetery Road on the third Tuesday of moat months from 7pm to 9pm. Thanks to the generosity of Angela and Jeremy Burdge. we will be meeting in a brand new building designed for purposes of the club!!! Park at the new building and not by the house. You do not need to be a member to attend a meeting marked "open to all." Just look under "Club Calendar" on this website or visit our Facebook events page by searching for Hilliard Area Garden club. Members can be granted access to our Facebook account at https://www.facebook.com/hilliardareagardenclub. Have a question or comment? Please email us at HilliardAreaGardenClub@yahoo.com.
We Love Butterflies! We also love bees and all pollinators.
To help increase butterfly numbers, our club established a Certified Monarch Way Station. This garden is filled with native plants to support their life cycle such as Common and Swamp Milkweed, Purple Aster, Butterfly Weed, Coreopsis and Purple Coneflower and more. This garden is located behind the Veterans Memorial Garden in Roger Reynolds Municipal Park in Hilliard.
