2024 will be our 104rd Anniversary of being part of GardenOntario. A milestone we are proud of as a society.
It will also be the 100th Anniversary of the Park at 21 Main St being deeded to us from the Mcdonald family. We will be having a Summer Picnic in our beautiful Horticultural Park as part of our 100th Anniversary of our having been deeded the park. Join us Sunday August 11 bring a favourite picnic dish.
One of the primary aims of the Gananoque Horticultural Society is Community beautification. This is accomplished by encouraging people to develop their own gardens through our educational speakers and seminars.
Members and visitors have opportunities to see what others have done on garden tours, as well as through flower exhibitions and competitions and speakers. Our park at 21 Main St is a visual example of how we contribute to community beautification and education.
Our Society has been involved in the community of Gananoque and the surrounding area since the late 1800s. Our Society was first founded on April 1 1885 and fell inactive for a period following but has been continuously in service to the community since 1920.
The Gananoque Trillium Award is presented to the most attractive, well-maintained and planned garden, as viewed from the street. The winning gardens must look good throughout the growing season, and winners are notified in the fall and invited to our annual awards meeting in April.
We hold a plant sale each May to encourage affordable gardening and have a Garden Tour in July to show off beautiful local gardens.
