Englehart & District Horticultural Society

"Keeping Ontario Beautiful" 

The Englehart & District Horticultural Society was formed in 1956. Some flowers could not last to be displayed and exhibited in the Englehart Fall Fair. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan cut their flowers and displayed them in their home and invited their friends to come spend 'an evening with the blooms'. The group showed great enthusiasm for possibly forming a show for flowers only. The first meeting was held February 13, 1956 in the Town Hall under the chairmanship of Mr. C Byam of New Liskeard who had been authorized by the Ontario Horticultural Association to organize a branch in Englehart. Mr. Byam pointed out that the aims of the society were to improve home and public grounds, to interest young people in horticulture, to hold exhibitions, to distribute seeds, plants etc. and to promote the knowledge of horticulture.

The Englehart & District Horticultural Society is a district organization of the Ontario Horticultural Association.  The Ontario Horticultural Association is supported by the interest of avid gardeners all across Ontario who have a love of gardening, deep enjoyment in sharing their knowledge, commitment to preserving and restoring Ontario's natural environment and dedication to making the communities we live in beautiful, sustainable and livable.
