Markdale and District Horticultural Society
District 8
The Markdale and District Horticultural Society was founded in 1912 to help educate home gardeners and plant lovers in our community. We continue to actively manage public gardens and street planters while sharing horticultural knowledge. Our members come from Chatsworth, Grey Highlands, Southgate, West Grey and a few from Owen Sound.
We belong to the Ontario Horticultural Association, in District 8, and our Society is located on the north east corner of the district.
