Our society will be celebrating our 60th anniversary of incorporation and our 90th anniversay of our founding in 2010.   We are proudly affiliated with the Ontario Horticultural Association.

Over the years we have had many town beautification projects, currently the Leamington Horticultural Society endeavors are:

Furnished benches that were installed at various locations around town.

Tomato Information Booth

Plant and maintain the gardens surrounding the famous tomato information booth.

Garrison Gardens

Sun Parlor Home

Plant annuals each spring. This year the permanent beds have been redesigned with annuals to coordinat with the town.

Memorial Trees
