Societies in Ontario
Maxville and District Horticultural Society
District 1
The Maxville & District Horticultural Society was established in 1923 to promote horticulture and the beautification of our community. Following the many activities of 2023, in which we celebrated our 100-year Anniversary, we continue today, growing from the experience of past leaders, striving to learn new and interesting ideas. Our calendar highlighted many of these activities.
With the support of the Township of North Glengarry, 36 hanging baskets will be put up along with the tartan banners. The entrance to the village boxes and beds will all be planted, and the urns at the park, post office and arena. We will also add flowers by our new Memorial bench and tree in the cemetery. Piper Max will stand proud as we also join celebrations of our hometown, Glengarry Highland Games, 75th edition. A native maple tree will be planted on the grounds this year.
