Greater Toronto Bulb & Horticultural Society

District 5

About Us

The purpose of the club is to promote the enjoyment and appreciation of bulbs and “bulb-like” plants, including corms, tubers and rhizomes. And that covers a very wide range of both indoor and outdoor plants, from hyacinths to dahlias, gladioli to amaryllis, and even a few cacti, which have scaly bulbous portions for storing water in dry periods.

In addition to our monthly meetings, the club gets involved in outreach programs including public plantings. For the past several years, we have planted several large garden beds at the Holland-Bloorview Children's Rehab Hospital with spring-flowering bulbs and also dahlias for summer/fall. In the past 3 years, we provided bulbs for flower beds at the Main Street and Queen Street East branches of the Metro Toronto Library, and for Withrow Park plantings by Riverdale Horticultural Society. This year and last, we provided spring bulbs for major beds at the Toronto Botanical Garden, in partnership with Milne House Garden Club.
