Our society has the distinction of being the oldest, continuous running society in Elgin County. The Ladies Temperance Society held the record until closing a few years back, but since 1870 we have had a horticultural society in St.Thomas and District. Like our banner states "Urbs Bella" we really do have a beautiful city, thanks in part to our active members. We encourage new members to join us, you can be sure of a warm welcome, no experience necessary just a love of gardening and plants.
We meet the 4th Wednesday of the month Jan to May then September to June.
