Milne House Garden Club was founded April 11, 1967, and was named to perpetuate the historical association of the Edwards Gardens area with Alexander Milne, the original owner of the property which was part of a five hundred acre Crown Land Grant given in the early 1800's.
The Milne House, built on the brow of the hill close to Lawrence Avenue, was destroyed by fire in 1964, and has been replaced by a tea house erected on the old foundation.
