Whether you are a returning member or a new one - we thank you for your membership and participation in the Niagara-on-the-Lake Horticultural Society.

 

We are one of the horticultural societies in Ontario. We are a volunteer-run, charity organization. Our mission is to encourage the continual joy of learning about gardening. We welcome everyone interested in gardening, horticulture, and environmental stewardship. We maintain over 275 registered members. As a volunteer-run charity, we rely on the talents and engagement of our membership to accomplish our annual goals. 

​

As a member you can enjoy any and all activities we offer our members. 

​

  • Monthly Meetings - The Society hosts monthly meetings to educate members on a variety of horticultural topics and gardening techniques through Guest Speakers who share their expertise in their fields including gardening, horticultural and the environment. 

  • Meetings take place on the fourth Tuesday of each month, January to May and September to November.  Our meetings take place at the Niagara-on-the-Lake Community Centre, 14 Anderson Lane

  • Annual Plant Sale - An annual outdoor plant sale will be held on Saturday May 9, 2026 with many of the plants donated from our members' gardens. This event is a must attend for many avid gardeners in the region.
