The Antigua/Barbuda Horticultural Society/ at the Agave Gardens
We are here to introduce gardening to a wide variety of our society to educate, teach, conserve and to achieve excellence in plant knowledge, garden design and an appreciation of plants. Liaise with other Botanical Gardens in the Caribbean and register with the RHS in an effort to attend and compete at the annual Chelsea Flower.
We are open to anyone who is passionate about gardening, horticulture, who wants to learn, and share his or her knowledge. ABHS is a not for profit organization we meet once monthly November through May, and with a bi-annual executive board meet.

Summer
Sunshine’s, summertime,
Pools are splashing.
Ground is dry from heat,
Cars a fleeing for the beach.
The crack of a baseball bat and kids cheering,
Deafening your hearing.
Schools out, sun is in!
SUMMER!
