Welcome to the Bracebridge Horticultural Society.
We are a "growing group"of enthusiastic gardeners who enjoy sharing our experience and knowledge.
Our meetings are held at 7:30 PM on the main floor of the Senior's centre at 54 Dominion Street on the fourth Tuesday of every month except July, August and December.
As well as topical presentations at each meeting, we regularly host learning Workshops and Garden Tours.
We have a Flower Show and Competition in both the Spring and Summer Season plus a Photography Contest in the Fall besides running a Plant and Bake Sale in late May.
Another part of our Mission, is that we proudly maintain seven Public Gardens around town and are also involved in the "Community Gardens" project.
To help ensure the future of gardening, we give money to local Schools for flower planting, and donate Bursaries to young people for Post Secondary Education related to Horticulture.
A Special Feature in 2012 is a Contest to recognize outstanding Front Yard Gardens - this will be open to all residents.
We will be sponsoring another Garden Tour this year on Saturday July 7th featuring several lovely Gardens.
Being a part of District 18 which stretches from Gravenhurst to North Bay enables us to broaden our horizons by meeting with this larger group for learning and competitions.
The other level is the Ontario Horticultural Association which sponsors an Annual Convention somewhere in the Province. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with others who share the common goal of beautifying this Great Country we call home.
Hope you can join us for fun and learning with fellow "Green Thumbs".
For more details and up-dates, please call {705}646-2618 or {705}645-9760.
