Monto Garden Club Celebrates 30 Blooming Years

The Monto Horticultural Society, affectionately known as the Monto Garden Club, recently celebrated a major milestone — 30 years of growing friendships and gardens.

The occasion was marked with a beautiful luncheon held at the Colonial Motor Inn, attended by members and special guests, including past presidents of the club. The gathering was a heartfelt celebration of the club’s dedication to horticulture, community, and the joy of gardening.

A highlight of the day was the presentation of a commemorative certificate by Phil Adam, President Queensland Council of Garden Clubs, to the club’s current president, Barry Wait. The gesture acknowledged the club’s three decades of contribution to the local community and its continued passion for plants and people.

Guests were then treated to a fascinating slideshow presented by Mr Adam, showcasing his recent trip to the renowned Floriade Expo and Keukenhof Gardens in the Netherlands. The vibrant display of international floral beauty was both inspiring and educational, leaving guests buzzing with ideas for their own gardens.

As the Monto Garden Club enters its fourth decade, its roots remain firmly planted in community spirit and a shared love of gardening — with many more seasons of growth to come.
