Collins Bay and District Horticultural Society
District 3
Welcome to the Collins Bay and District Horticultural Society, which was established in 1954 and then incepted in 1959 as part of District 3. Our club is made up of members at all levels of gardening experience - from the amateur, new, and wannabe, to those longtime members who are Master Gardeners. All of us share a common love of gardening along with the desire to promote responsible ecological care of our environment.
Monthly meetings begin with a social time over light refreshments followed by a program on a particular topic of interest. Members can get to hear a speaker presentation, experience a demonstration, participate in a workshop, or perhaps go on a special outing and garden tour. Flower Shows are held each June and September which offer members the unique opportunity to exhibit flowers, plants, vegetables and creative flower designs. In May, a Plant Sale is held open to the public, and is our main yearly fundraiser. Two gardens in community parks are planted and maintained by our member volunteers. Come pay us a visit - we'd be happy to have you join us.
