St. Clair Region Conservation Foundation is the New Management of Greenhill Gardens
Greenhill Gardens was donated to the St. Clair Region Conservation Foundation in 2022 by the Robson Family.
The St. Clair Region Conservation Foundation (SCRCF) received a generous donation of property from the Robson family that includes the local attraction known as Greenhill Gardens. In order to ensure the long-term maintenance of the property, the SCRCF needs your support. One of the measures being undertaken is a new booking system for 2024 that will accommodate the rental of the grounds for special events and functions (e.g., weddings, group photographs) for a fee that will ensure the ongoing maintenance of the property. It is important to note, that the SCRCF asks the public to reach out to Tim Payne (contact information below) for rental inquiries as only those who have booked through the SCRCA will be guaranteed dates and availability at Greenhill Gardens.
The Robson’s began growing this oasis in 2008 and now boasts a 2.4-hectare (6 acre) garden, 7.7-hectare (19 acre) woodlot, and 30-hectare (74 acre) agricultural land.
