Horticulture
can change
communities
Interest in horticulture is still growing,
and so is membership in the Horticultural
Societies of Ontario. Now, there are more
than 55,000 horticultural society members
in 252 horticultural societies located
throughout Ontario. There is no minimum
or maximum age to belong - just the desire
to enjoy horticulture, and share the secrets
and experience of growing plants.
Members represent all livelihoods. This
contagious activity fulfills the lives of
people in all walks of life.
Many school students participate in
Youth Garden Clubs, sponsored by horti-
cultural societies. Several community
gardens, created through the joint efforts
of municipalities and horticultural societies
become challenges for members, espec-
ially young people. Vegetables and flowers
are grown to perfection in plots allocated to
each member. When show time rolls
around, their harvest of prize plants
becorresentries to challenge neighbors and
friends.
Several horticultural societies organize
flower and vegetable shows held in
conjunction with fall fairs.
The activities and programs of horticul-
tural societies are varied. Many societies
develop new public gardens and parks in
their communities. Some organize short
courses for local residents. Most societies
meet monthly to discuss specific horticul-
tural subjects.
Beautification competitions, organized
by the societies, encourage merchants to
spruce up their premises, and neighbour-
hood residents to plant trees. Annual
clean-up and planting campaigns are
equally beneficial.
The lives of people in many communities
have changed dramatically because of their
interest in horticulture. The attractive
appearance of several Ontario communities
can be traced to the dedication of
horticulturally -minded people who realized
the need to create pleasant surroundings.
For many years, the provincial govern-
ment, through the Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food, has provided
incentive grants to help horticultural
societies maintain local horticultural inter-
est.
Every municipality is permitted to have a
local horticultural society. The local
libriry, municipal office, or Chamber of
Commerce in your community will know
when and where your horticultural society
meets.
