Societies in Ontario
Harriston and District Horticultural Society
District 7
A group of like-minded people who share a common interest in plants and gardening.
We support a membership of all ages through speakers, tours, workshops, student bursaries, sales, fundraisers, common social activities and as well organizing youth activities.
We try to make everything fun as well as educational just as we have since 1952
Our objectives are to encourage a love of horticulture in all branches, to encourage conservation, to promote and assist civic beautification by the planting of trees, shrubs and flowers on public and private land, and to arrange field trips, competitions and exhibits related to horticulture.
