District 15 is comprised of 14 societies. We have a mix of rural and urban societies. Our boundaries include the regions of Peel, York west of Road No. 1, and Toronto west of Yonge Street. Representatives from each society meet annually for our District Annual General Meeting and our two District Advisory meetings. The District Board meets several times throughout the year in preparation for the AGM and District Advisory meetings and other special meetings as the need arises.

No matter what skill levels one has, be it youth or first-time gardeners, be it experienced gardeners or even Master Gardeners and Horticulturalists, the joy of gardening can be experienced by all age groups and people no matter their level of experience. There is something of interest for everyone at a Horticultural Society, regardless if your garden is a tiny balcony or a vast sprawling country estate, or somewhere in between.

At our recent Advisory meeting (Nov. 03, 2024) we were hosted by the Horticultural Societies of Parkdale/Toronto and had a lovely afternoon packed with updates and information that all Society board members should be aware of. We had 5 round tables. People joined the table (thus the topic) they wanted to be participate in. This allowed a great exchange of the how, why, issues, successes that each Society represented had experienced. The information was documented and distributed to all Society boards. The venue offered tasty refreshments through out the afternoon and we had door prizes and a 50/50 draw.
