For Those Who Love Gardening
Why Not Join Us!
We are an community based volunteer organization that promotes and encourages an interest and love of gardening amongst its members and the general public. We invite all to come out and join us. Meet people that have the same interest in gardening and learn new skills and share your experience with others. We have flower shows at some of our meetings that you can participate in or view. At our meetings we bring in speakers to share their expertise on subjects that vary from landscaping, tools, herbs, organic gardening, mulches, trees, shrubs, trends and many other subjects.

Our Mission Statement:
The North York Horticultural Society, founded in 1924, actively promotes the love of gardening to its members and the public, through open meetings, guest speakers, flower shows, plant sales and outreaches to the community.
"For eighty years, dedicated generations of NYHS volunteers have been helping gardeners grow. These members have shared seeds, plants, and gardening knowledge with members and non-members alike. This generosity has kept the society alive for 80 years and that is no mean feat."
