Summer 2025

It’s early August and we are halfway through summer.  It’s been a hot summer and we have already surpassed our average number of days at 30c and above for the entire summer.  More hot weather is on the way.  Conditions have also been very dry.  Keep your gardens happy with a morning watering every few days.  Some added compost or a light layer of mulch will help the plants as well. 

Despite the hot and dry, weather the Dominion Gardens are looking beautiful as always.  People always comment how beautiful the gardens are and what a jewel they are for Halton Hills. 

Music In the Garden has continued this summer.  It is every other Sunday from 3:00 to 5:00.  There have been four performances already.  Check out the remaining dates and performers under the dropdown box on this ‘Old Seedhouse Garden’ website.  We have had wonderful performances, and the events have been very well attended.  Come and enjoy the remaining performances.  Remember to bring a lawn chair, a hat and some water. 

“Cat” the rock caterpillar is back this summer too.  Kids, young and old, can paint a rock and add it to Cat in the garden near the garden shed. 

Come, stroll through the various garden areas and enjoy.  There are several picnic tables in the gardens if you would like to bring a lunch or snack and just sit awhile. 

 We are always looking for volunteers to help in the gardens.  You don’t need gardening expertise to contribute.   Our weekly volunteer day is Tuesday from 9:00 to noon.  We provide any tools required. 

Looking Forward to seeing you at the Gardens.
