The Clinton Horticultural
Society is celebrating their
125th Anniversary. As a spe-
cial event we hosted the
District 8 (the counties of
Grey, Bruce and Huron)
Ontario Horticultural Asso-
ciation annual meeting at
Holmesville Community
Hall on April 25.
With a hall decorated in
the 125 -year-old theme,
there were arrangements of
dried flowers, pictures in
old frames and a cornhusk
doll to greet the district del-
egates. Our Clinton Society
president, Michael Falconer,
welcomed everyone to the
meeting. Mayor Jim Ginn
brought greetings from our
municipality. Then the Dis-
trict Director, Sharon Nivins
chaired the day's activities.
Our speaker was Dr. Kate
Hazlitt B.A., N.D. of Goder-
ich whose topic was Farm to
Table: Reviving a Tradi-
tional Food Lifestyle. To
enhance the idea of healthy
food choices the delegates
were served elderberry tea,
elderflower tea and mint tea
and along with the meal
were served a few fer-
mented vegetables. There
was much interest in the
presentation given by Dr.
Hazlitt.
As part of the day there
were three different compe-
titions. There was a photog-
raphy competition with 119
entries, a first time Flower
Show with 58 entries and a
poster competition "Let's
Garden Like Grandma" with
44 entries.
The poster competition
