2022 is our 90th Anniversary! Bracebridge Horticultural Society has been meeting since 1932 to organize like-minded individuals to work at beautifying Bracebridge and encouraging people to garden. Along with all our usual events, such as plant sales, flower shows, the front yard garden recognition contest and a fundraising cookbook we have many exciting outreach events for 2022, Canada's Year of the Garden. We plan to have our 90th Birday Party at our regular meeting on May 24. We plan a Birthday icnic at Annie Willams Park on August 13th with games, prizes et al. We will have public info sessions on the sidewalk in from of the Library 3 or4 times this summer with info and handouts about Butterflyway; Seeds; Invasive Species and How to preserve your harvest. Many workshops are planned from making flower bombs for Guerilla Gardening to torfu pots; invasive species recognition and Forest Bathing (with clothes on) We have partnered with Bracebridge Public Library in support of their Heritage Seed Project and have done several YouTube videos with the library.We also offer yearly a one-time $1,000.00 post secondary bursary to students from Bracebridge who are continuing their studies in horticulture, agriculture or environmental studies. The area high school front offices have application forms to fill out and send to the horticultural society for consideration. You are most welcome to come join our group. We also look after several gardens, have member garden tours and much more. Also, be sure to check out our facebook page for lots of interesting news, tips and videos at http://www.facebook.com/bracebridgegardeners.
Our society plants and maintains four major public gardens in Bracebridge. We pay for and plant a section of the Rotary Centennial Gardens on Pine St., three gardens around the Centre for Active Living on Dominion St., our 20 year old signature Millennium Garden on Ecclestone Drive and have maintained the town gardens at the Public Library on Manitoba St. since 1996. We take great pride in these gardens and have great fun working on them together every year.
