CIVIC 
GARDENS

Our club volunteers maintain a number of civic/public flower beds in Beaverton, which are appreciated and enjoyed by residents and visitors alike.  These include:

 

• Old Mill Gateway - In 2011, our club created a low maintenance garden of perennials, shrubs and grasses for the Old Mill Gate.  This beautiful garden is located at the corner of Simcoe Street and Mara Road, adjacent to the Beaver River.  With the beautiful backdrop of the stone gateway, this garden area includes such perennials as bee balm, coneflowers, black-eyed susan, hydrangea, lilies and more.

• Cenotaph - A joint project by our club and Beaverton Lions Club, the cenotaph is located on the corner of Simcoe Street and Osborne Street, adjacent to the Town Hall.  It is planted each year with tulips for the spring and annuals, like geraniums, for the summer.  

• Beaverton Firehall Native Plantings 

• Town Hall Perennial Garden

• Beaverton Library Planters - Planters are planted annually with a variety of colourful flowers, greenery and grasses.

• Mara Road Entry Sign - A welcoming garden filled with perennials blooming all summer long.

• Downtown Planters- In 2024 the Beaverton Garden Club purchased 8 planters which are placed on Simcoe St. and Mara Rd. Colourful annuals, perennials and vegetables create a welcoming addition to the busy sidewalks.
