Page 19 Interest grows by Russ Gomme OMAF Interest in horticulture is still growing, and so is membership in t11e Hor- ticultural Societies of Ontario. Now, there are more than 55,000 hor- ticultural 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. Perhaps the senior citizen in the next apartment is a member. This contagious activity fulfills the lives of people in all walks of life. - Many school students participate in Youth Garden Clubs, sponsored by hor- ticultural societies. Several ,—rttiYrinitrlity-gardens, created through the joint efforts of municipalities --and 'hor ticultural societies, become challenges for members, especially young people. Vegetables and flowers are grown to perfection in plots allocated to each member. When show time rolls arct„id their harvest of prize plants become entries to challenge neighbours and friends, Several horticultural societies organize flower and vegetable shows held in c'onjunc'tion with fall fairs.
