Eganville Horticultural Society
The floral emblem of the society is the Daisy
The Eganville Horticultural Society meets at 7.30pm on the third Monday of each month (except July and August). We meet at St. Luke’s Lutheran Church Hall, at the corner of Jane and Hartwig Sts. in Eganville, and new members are always welcome.
The Society was formed in 1955, and has carried the mandate of “Beautification in the Village” since that time. The number of members has varied, but during 2009, our membership grew from 63 to 103 members.
Each meeting begins with a business and informational period of about 20 minutes, after which our featured speaker is introduced, and the presentation (usually lasting about 30 to 40 minutes) is enjoyed. Our evening is always finished off with a social hour, including refreshments, and a time for conversation.
Our planting in the village consists of 11 large cement planters, two beds in Centennial Park, as well as 6 or 7 private areas throughout the Village. Fund-raising is accomplished by a Spring Bazaar & Plant Sale, and a Harvest Auction in September. Contributions from the businesses in Eganville are welcomed, and put to good use.
