Thornhill Garden & Horticultural Society

District 15

About Us

The Thornhill Garden & Horticultural Society is celebrating its 108th year in 2022.
Our Society's members have a common interest in gardening and the greening of our homes and community through horticultural activities.

The Society promotes the beautification of Thornhill's public and private spaces by planting and maintaining trees, plants, shrubs and flowers at several community locations.
Monthly meetings (9 per year), plant sales (2), a front garden recognition programme, an annual Garden Tour and other activities are held each year. A monthly newsletter is issued to our members.
Bursaries are provided to Thornhill students enrolled full-time studies related to Horticulture and/or Environmental Sciences.
